PYONGYANG, North Korea (AP) North Korea hailed Kim Jong Il’s son as “supreme leader” of the 1.2-million strong military, ramping up its campaign to install the young man as the nation’s next leader even as millions continue mourning the father a week after his death.

Now we have one Supreme leader in NK and one in Iran, both will be gone soon.
Is that Kim Jong Un’s birthday?

Qing Ming Festival is a day in which Chinese families head to the graveyard and clean the tombs of their ancestors. It is interesting because it helps us understand how traditional Chinese ideas about death survive in modern China despite Maos efforts to eliminate them.
