More than 300 senior high students from the capital's Guangqumen High School have gathered to stage a traditional coming-of-age ritual of the Han ethnic group.

It all began with a simple commemoration ritual in front of a Confucius statue in the temple at 9 am. The adjacent college was home to the country's highest educational institution during the Yuan (1271-1368) to Qing (1644-1911) dynasties, and was a place to pay homage to the famous educator Confucius (551-479 BC).

A self-affirmed adrenaline junkie, I wasn't yet ready to slow down to cycling speed.

China's film industry should give greater support to indie films to keep them from being drowned by bigbudget commercial films as the domestic market grows fast. This is a common appeal made most recently by Chinese director Jia Zhangke and senior executives of the Toronto International Film Festival.
