A Chinese child wanders among tombstones at a Chinese
cemetery during Qing Ming festival near Beijing, China. Qing Ming, which translate as 'Bright and Clear' festival, is marked
annually by Chinese world wide for thousands of years as a day to pay
their respects to their ancestors and the dead. Chinese take time to visit
and clean up the graves of their departed relatives and make offerings of
food and burn paper money in the belief that their relatives would be able
to use the money in their afterlife.
