Early in the morning, the brilliant sunshine spilled over Mt Babao, falling among the verdant pines and cypresses of the revolutionary cemetery, yet it did nothing to alter the solemn and respectful aura of the place.
The cemetery, covering one hundred and fifty acres, was dotted with visitors here to tour the site, with the most visitors congregated around the graves at the northernmost end—where the political elite of the cemetery were laid to rest.
Many important figures, including the Old Master of the Chen Family, were buried there.
At eight o'clock, an off-road vehicle bearing the insignia of the Yanjing Military Region arrived at the revolutionary cemetery on Mt Babao.
Inside the car, Chen Fan, Susan, Chen Zhan, and Sun Yanling all wore somber expressions.
