Wei Jinding, 91, was among those waiting. Although he wears a hearing aid in his left ear and can only walk with the aid of a stick, he looks hale and hearty. Accompanied by his eldest son and daughter-in-law, Wei was waiting to obtain advice about making a will and ensure that his three apartments are inherited by his intended recipients after his death.

The problem was that Kangxi had 35 sons and no one knew his intentions until his will was executed soon after his death.
