Qingming, or Tomb-sweeping Day, is more than just a date – it’s China’s annual conversation between life and death, memory and the passage of time. Centuries ago, the Song-dynasty (960-1279) poet Huang Tingjian watched peach petals fall on graves, where vibrant flowers bloomed but sorrow still lingered in the air. His words still echo today: "Who can since long ago tell the fool from the wise? There’s but one graveyard with briars before our eyes." Welcome along as CGTN host Julian Waghann explores the spirit of Qingming, a day to honor what has shaped us, to whisper memories to the earth, and to remember that life’s brightest light comes from staying grounded in the past.
