Selfish waste of resources. All of the minerals, nutrients, proteins, and stuff that make up a human body are now lost, or added to air pollution. Best to bury the dead and let the circle-of-life continue so it can nurture the next generation of plants and worms.

During the winter, the Chinese government turns on the public heat for buildings in the north*, which includes Beijing. Regardless of the weather, citizens cannot turn on the heat; the heat does not come on until the government says it's time to come on (sometime in mid-November). Nor can citizens control the amount of heat; it's on full-blast until sometime in the Spring, when the government decides to shut it off, again regardless of the weather.
So it's normal for the fan to be on in the winter, because this apartment probably would have been really hot inside.

* The people in the south don't get government heat, regardless of the weather. How does the Chinese government define 'north' and 'south'? The Yellow River.

"Remember when you were a little kid and you didn't notice the major plot-holes, the bad dialog, and the simple characterizations of Star Wars because you were distracted by shiny special effects of things that move fast, explode, and make loud noises on-screen? But then you grew up. And then those prequels came out. You didn't notice the prequels' bright, colorful, loud special effects because you were distracted by the major plot-holes, bad dialog, and simple characterizations."
