The stone-paved road made of tombstones, shot by netizen "Foshan Truth-teller".
Reported by journalist Zhang Wen from Yangcheng Evening News in Foshan: Recently, a netizen in Foshan posted on a forum that he "stepped on the tombstone of someone's ancestral grave at Zhongshan Park in Chancheng District, Foshan." The management of Zhongshan Park stated that the stone-paved road was built by the public during the "Smash the Four Olds" period.
Recently, Foshan netizen "Foshan Truth-teller" posted on a well-known forum, stating that while playing at Zhongshan Park in Chancheng District, Foshan, he "discovered that the stone-paved road under his feet was actually laid with tombstones, which was equivalent to stepping on someone's ancestral grave." The reporter saw that the picture posted by the netizen showed a tombstone embedded among many stone-paved roads. The tombstone read "Yao Slope Wu's Tomb," with very clear handwriting. "Foshan Truth-teller" said that there were many stone slabs on the park's stone-paved road that were made from tombstones. "I don't believe in gods, but this is a form of respect for our ancestors. If your family's tombstone was dug up and used as a stone slab and stepped on by thousands every day, how would you feel?"
By the time the reporter opened the webpage, the post had already been viewed 8472 times. Many netizens agreed with "Foshan Truth-teller's" viewpoint. "It's near the lake side path close to the Physical Education Institute," "I remember discovering it when I was young!" Netizens "Luo Youheng" and "Xia Chai Zhu" also confirmed. However, quite a few netizens were indifferent. "Don't make a fuss over something trivial. More than half of the roads in Yuexiu Park in Guangzhou are paved with tombstones, and many shaded paths in the Wushan university campus are also paved with tombstones, facing upwards. I've stepped on them for years and haven't seen any ghosts!"
With all these questions, the reporter visited Zhongshan Park in Chancheng District, Foshan. However, due to the large area of the park, after much difficulty, the reporter still couldn't find the tombstone photographed by the netizen. "Tombstones definitely exist, and not just one," a staff member from the Zhongshan Park Garden Management Office in Chancheng District, Foshan, told the reporter. The construction of the stone-paved road in Zhongshan Park was far before the establishment of the management office. "The stone-paved road should have been built during the 'Smash the Four Olds' period, all constructed by the public voluntarily." He indicated that many people simply took materials from their surroundings, moving stones if they found them. But the garden management office couldn't count them either. "Some tombstones face upward, and you can't tell from above. In recent years, without major projects, the management wouldn't renovate the road surface." Share to: Comments welcome.
