Sandown, NH: Jing Hong, 51, of Sandown, NH, (originally from Liuzhou, Guangxi, China) died on October 1, 2019 at St. Elizabeth's Medical Center in Boston, MA., following a brief illness.

Born in Hengyang, Hunan China, she was the daughter of the late Shan Qiao Hong and Gui Ying Sheng. She recently immigrated to the United States to be with her beloved husband, Montgomery (Monty ) Cole.  Prior to moving to the United States, she received her Bachelor's degree from the Guangxi University for the Nationalities in 1986. Jing moved to Liuzhou after college and started working as a news reporter for a television station, quickly becoming known for her bold approach to investigating stories.  Later she formed a newspaper with colleagues and became known as "Hong Brick" for her sharp witted emotional advice.  She has published two fictional novels and an unpublished third novel that she completed prior to her passing.  She has written countless numbers of poems, taking inspiration from her surroundings.  She started "The Warming Wall" a community based sharing program where those no longer in need of a gently worn piece of clothing could leave it for those that may be in need.

In the United States she spent her time lakeside at her home in Sandown.  She enjoyed tending her garden, swimming, kayaking, fishing in the lake with her husband's family, and walking the neighborhood foraging for wild fruits to eat.  Her latest love is a 4 month old Papillion named Xiaochi.  (Pronounced shOWchUR)  Xiaochi was her first pet and she loved him dearly. She loved to write and more than anything she loved her husband. She loved to cook for him, always having a dinner ready, always listening for his footsteps on the walk.

Jing had an enormous talent for photography and recently began sharpening that focus turning it towards videography. She leaves behind a vast collection of beautiful photos and videos. Jing had a love for the beauty of not only flowers but of light and contrast and everything in between.  She had an amazing talent for vision of a picture or a video.  She also loved music.  All different genres, most recently becoming a Springsteen fan. She played the guqin and the guzhen, Chinese stringed instruments she easily mastered. She loved to sing and had a beautiful voice. Jing was recently very successful in building an online business in network marketing, something she really enjoyed.

Jing was a beautiful soul, a lover of life, filled with light and kindness, one of a kind.
