    From an IT news report

    Underground Catholic bishop Joseph Fan dies at age of 97
    The underground bishop of Shanghai, Joseph Fan, died aged 97 late on Sunday following decades of imprisonment and house arrest.
    Authorities are clamping down on overly public displays of mourning, the Cardinal Kung Foundation said.
    “Bishop Fan suffered from a high fever several days before he died. He died at his home still under house arrest, a sentence that entailed strict surveillance by the government for most of the last two decades,” the US-based Catholic organisation said.

    So as not being a new dump, to pay respect to a man who had seen and survived the historical forces that have transformed China.
    RIP.
