China's father remembered

Beijing TV and Shaanxi TV jointly hosted a special Qingming Festival ceremony on Saturday, commemorating Huangdi, or the Yellow Emperor, who is considered the ancestor of every Chinese.

The special event featured performers playing ancient musical instruments, special readings and a visit to the Yellow Emperor's grave. To pay tribute to the victims of the May 12 earthquake last year, children from quake-hit cities attended the ceremony and asked the nation's ancestor for a blessing.
