SINGAPORE – Former television actress Lin Liyun was buried at sea on Monday (Dec 16) following her funeral and cremation.
Lin died of pneumonia last Saturday (Dec 14). She was 58.
According to local evening daily Shin Min Daily News, Lin had no religious affiliation in life and felt that a sea burial would be “freer”.
The actress’ husband Chen Zhicheng said Lin had idolised her grandfather.
He said to the news outlet: “In her grandfather’s time, sea burials were not common but he chose to depart in that way and I think that influenced her.”
The former actress was diagnosed with multiple system atrophy – a progressive disorder that affects the nervous system and one’s movement – in 2010.
Lin told Shin Min in a 2015 interview that she began using a wheelchair in 2014.
The eldest of Lin’s three children, 29-year-old dance student Chen Meiqi, told Chinese publication Lianhe Wanbao: “My mother always encouraged us to be independent – she was a strong woman and our role model.
