His life accomplishments and his devotion to the country are extraordinary. When he died in 1964, the government arranged and subsized the funeral to pay respect.
The cemetery of Yu,Yu-Jen was built in 1964. It is located in Tamsui.
The cemetery was beautifully built. In the middle of the tall building is a cylindrical tomb which is divided into three floors. This tall building provides a good view of the mountains and coast lines nearby.
The trees in the cemetery offer very much a park-like setting. On April 24, 2012, this cemetery was designated as a historic site by the government.
