Yes.

The tragedy of the Nepalese royal family that shocked the world once occurred in Kathmandu/forum/116088,1759745,1,0.html On June 1, 2001, at 10:40 pm Nepal time (0:55 am Beijing time on June 2), people were shocked.

The world's Nepalese royal family tragedy suddenly occurred in the new palace in Kathmandu.

It is rumored that the then 29-year-old Crown Prince Dipendra had a dispute with his parents in the palace in order to marry Rana, the daughter of a noble family in Nepal. Later, wearing a military uniform and holding an automatic rifle, he broke into the living room of the palace and shot him dead.

Twelve members of the royal family, including King Birendra, Queen Aishwarya, 22-year-old Prince Nirajan, and 24-year-old Princess Shruti, suffered eight deaths and three injuries in an instant.

The crown prince finally committed suicide with a gun.

Since ancient times, the lives of princes and royal families have not always been as gorgeous and noble as they appear.

Even the ten-year romance between Crown Prince Dipendra and Rana was not approved by the queen.

Although Rana was born into a Kshatriya family, her family was a historical political enemy of the current royal family. They once ousted the royal family in 1846 and conducted a dictatorship that lasted for about 100 years.

It was not until 1951 that King Tebliwa restored the rule of the Shah dynasty.

Although it happened decades ago, it was enough for Queen Aishwarya to think that Rana was not qualified to be the mother of the world.

The most regrettable thing is that King Birendra, who had the courage to give up absolute royal power and ushered Nepal into the era of constitutional monarchy, has always been deeply loved and respected by all the people, and has also maintained a very good image in the international community.

His sudden death caused Nepal to completely lose its courage and direction.

King Birendra's brother Jalendra was on vacation in Pokhara at the time of the murder, so he was far away from the disaster.

After he quickly ascended to the throne, he filled the vacuum of supreme power in Nepal.

Later, I saw books about the tragedy in a bookstore in Tamil.

When the female owner of the bookstore saw me picking up the book, she began to excitedly talk about the tragedy in Nepali mixed with English, and the Nepali people's memory of the dead king.

As for me, I couldn't understand her words at all, but I completely understood what she meant, and I understood the grief in her eyes as if she had lost a loved one.

"We have all become orphans!" Today, three years later, she still said sadly.

There are many fragments of royal funerals in the book, and I also saw several photos of Crown Prince Dipendra on various occasions. He was young, handsome, and vigorous, with no evil in his eyes.

He has been the legal heir of the Nepalese royal family since he was a child, and studied at the British aristocratic Eton College.

After this shocking royal tragedy occurred, various rumors spread, but most Nepali people were unwilling to believe that the crown prince was the murderer.

After seeing the photos, I couldn't believe it. What kind of difference in thoughts and how deep the relationship was could cause such a disaster, causing this gentle future king to use such a tragic method to destroy both the jade and the stone in an instant.

Risking the lives of all your loved ones and your own future?

Following the long queue into the new palace, I later learned that civilian women could only see the queen, not the king.

Queen Komal of the new king Jalendra was originally the sister of the old queen Aishwarya. When the royal murder occurred, she, her daughter and son, the current crown prince, were also at the scene, but only suffered minor injuries to their fingers.

All five members of the old king's family died violently in the murder, and no one survived; but the new king's family miraculously survived.

This cannot but be said to be a miracle.

Coupled with the predictions in Nepal's history, the shocking tragedy three years ago is still confusing.

There was a long line of people waiting to see him, from the entrance of the New Palace to the intersection of Thamel Street.

Most of them are local Nepalis, and I am one of the very few foreigners.

Behind is a mother with two cute little daughters who live in Kathmandu.

My elder sister Shristi is 9 years old, and my 7-year-old younger sister both speak some lovely English.

Shristi is a little girl who loves taking pictures. As soon as I pick up the camera, she opens her big eyes and stares at me without blinking.

She would be very surprised to see herself reflected on the digital camera screen, and then she would happily circle around me.

Shristi looked around for ballpoint pens and asked people in line.

Everyone looked at her strangely, wondering what she was going to do.

After asking dozens of people, she finally borrowed it, then came over, took my hand, and solemnly wrote on the back of it: Shristi: 5547054.

"This is my home, this is my home." She said to me over and over again.

The new Queen Komal, wearing a bright red sari with gold embroidery and phoenix, was sitting behind the long table in the reception room of the palace with a smile on her face. She was white, plump and elegant.

Photographers from a photo studio next to her were pointing their machines at her.

When I walked in holding two sisters, Shristi, I saw a flash of surprise in her eyes.

He walked to stand in front of the queen, clasped his hands and bowed slightly.

"JAPPAN?" she asked.

"NO, CHINA!" After a short question, I saw a trace of surprise flash in the queen's eyes.

The queen dipped her thumb into a little red cinnabar, smiled, and touched it between my eyebrows.

At this time, the camera flash kept flashing.

Three days later, I was wandering the streets of the new district of Kathmandu and saw a wooden board hanging at the door of the photo studio, with hundreds of photos of the subjects, kings and queens during the Moding period.
