The Death of Jiang Xieren

The death of the founding father of the Haidean Republic, Jiang Xieren, was a sudden and unexpected event that occurred in Haide's early history. Jiang Xieren was a former PLA soldier-turned revolutionary who led the "Haidean Revolutionary Front" to victory against an internally collapsing People's Republic of China, which subsequently, led to him founding the Haidean Republic. Now Haide's newly appointed President, Jiang Xieren would undergo massive economic reforms and industrialisation efforts that would shape the way that Haide would function within the coming decades.
Jiang Xieren's death came as a shock to the international community, as he was said to be in "relatively good health for the time being". Many heads of state across the globe gave their condolences to the late revolutionary, with many highlighting him as a "shining beacon of freedom for the Chinese people". President Xieren was given an elaborate funeral, with many heads of state gathering from around the world to witness, most notably the Presidents of Chemgota and the United States of America. He was buried in the newly-constructed 'Heroes Memorial Hall' on the 24th of July, 2063.
As for the public reaction, many had flocked to the streets to weep and mourn their dear leader's death. Scenes shown were compared to the events following North Korean Supreme Leader Kim Jong-Il's death, the main difference being that the reactions to President Xieren's death were by far more genuine than their North Korean counterparts. This was mainly due to Xieren's immense popularity across all spheres of Haidean society, with an estimated 92.75% approval rating, the highest approval rating for a Haidean President by far. A month of national mourning was declared, and the 17th of December was officially named 'Jiang Xieren Day', a national holiday celebrating Xieren's birthday.
