Jia Yongjie spoke about the pain of the person left behind: “Tears never stop, sadness cannot be expressed in words, no matter how much you cry, you cannot wake me up. Finally, there was a last kiss, a goodbye kiss from Oppa, a loved one saying goodbye to me. Oppa’s cry broke our hearts. That moment was enough. Saying goodbye in love and looking forward to the day we meet again. Oppa also sent me a photo of us together. Looking at the photo, I couldn’t hold back my tears. I will miss you. Didn’t you say you would come to us. How could you become an angel so quickly?”
