According to Taiwan's "United Daily News", music master Huang Youdi died of illness at the "Veterans General Hospital" in Kaohsiung on the 4th. He was 100 years old. He pursued the music philosophy of "great music must change" all his life. He made a will nine years ago, stating that the lyrics and lyrics he wrote would not be royalties and would be left to future generations. After his death, he was cremated and his ashes were scattered among the mountains and forests. The report said that Zheng Guanghui, principal of Xinyi Primary School in Kaohsiung City, who was like Huang Youdi's father and son, said,"He walked peacefully." The teacher passed away at 1:59 a.m. on the 4th. There was no abnormality before he passed away, and his blood pressure dropped sharply in an instant. Due to his advanced age, first aid was given up. The report also said that Huang Youdi, who did not like to trouble others, made a preliminary will nine years ago, stating that he would not issue an obituary after his death, and that his ashes would be scattered on the mountains after cremation to be used as afforestation fertilizer and no signs should be left. "Don't spread my ashes on the sea, because I don't like humidity." He also deposited funeral expenses in the bank in advance, which he called the "relocation" expenses for moving from earth to heaven. The music industry is very reluctant to part with Huang Youdi's departure. Zheng Guanghui said that although he complied with the teacher's wishes and did not issue an obituary, a public memorial was scheduled to be held at Yuanzhao Temple in Niaosong Township, Kaohsiung at 9:30 a.m. on the 13th. Previously, Ma Ying-jeou went to Kaohsiung's Rong General Administration in February 2010 to visit Huang Youdi, who was sick.
