    In loving memory of Chen Yifei

    昨天的上海晴空萬里,陳逸飛曾說,自己最喜歡這樣的天氣,而這一天,他在萬朵白玫瑰的簇擁中,在親友的淚光中,接受了來自全國各地百余名人和近萬群眾的最后告別,默默地在宋慶齡公墓安睡了。

    In loving memory of Chen Yifei

    Some 1,000 people gathered in a funeral parlor in this east China metropolis Wednesday morning to bid farewell to noted Chinese artist Chen Yifei, who died of gastrorrhagia , or stomach hemorrhage , in a local hospital ten days ago.

    The one-hour ceremony attracted a large number of Chinese celebrities from the art, entertainment, fashion and publishing circles, as Chen was widely regarded as a real master with great attainments in all these fields.

    Big-name attendees of the ceremony included world famous Chinese composer Tan Dun and directors Chen Kaige and Feng Xiaogang.

    Chen Yifei, a native of Zhenhai City in east China's Zhejiang Province, was born in 1946 and educated in the Shanghai Fine Art School. He went to the United States to receive higher education in 1980, and his artistic career started to blossom after he received a master's degree in art in 1984.

    His stardom was demonstrated in his first personal exhibition held at New York's Hammer Galleries and the selection of his work by an American oil mogul as a special present to late Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping.

    Chen was known to his fellow countrymen more as an art generalist and successful businessman than an exceptional painter. Returning to China in the 1990s, Chen pioneered into many artistic fields such as fashion design, film making and publishing while continuing with his painting endeavors.

    "I'd like to make my own choice while selecting a way of life. I love paintings, clothing and films because they are all beautiful things," Chen once said.

    Chen gave much of the money earned from the sale of his paintings to Project Hope, a charity program aiming to help poor school drop-outs in China resume their education. He also established an art foundation, according to unconfirmed reports of a Beijing-based newspaper.

    Prior to his hospitalization immediately followed by his death, Chen, as director-cum-investor, was filming a new movie titled "The Barber" in Fuyang, a city in his home province Zhejiang. The crew said they would work even harder to finalize the movie early and present it to the deceased Chen.

    Chen was admitted to Huashan Hospital in Shanghai on April 6 and passed away four days later.

    Doctors blamed overwork and exhaustion for his illness and death.

    The Shanghai Metro Operation Co. Ltd, which runs the city's subway transport system, issued on Wednesday a special set of commemorative ticket cards featuring two of Chen's most famous paintings, namely, the "Twin Bridge (Shuangqiao)" and "Lingering Melodies at Xunyang", or Farewell at Xunyang.

    The memorial set was priced at 18 yuan (2.2 US dollars) each and only 10,000 copies were printed to be sold.

    The metro company said the memorial set was selling hot due to the high popularity of Chen in Shanghai.
