Qīngmíng jié

清明节 festival is commonly translated as 'tomb sweeping festival'.  It is similar to Memorial Day weekend in America as it is a time to remember our ancestors, visit their graves, etc.  For this weekend, I was invited by a student of mine to visit his hometown of Zhenjiang which is near Nanjing China.
