April 4th is declared a national day of mourning this year in China, as we remember those who have passed away in the COVID-19 pandemic.
The date overlaps with Qingming, a Chinese traditional festival when we commemorate and show respect to the deceased ancestors, usually by paying a visit to their tombs.
R.I.P. to all those who lost their lives in fighting the virus.
