Qingming Festival is a traditional holiday in China for mourning the dead. In 1976, crowds gathered in Tian'anmen Square at Qingming Festival to pay homage to Premier Zhou Enlai, who had just died. What later became known as the April the 5th Incident developed into a protest against the Gang of Four.
