ABOUT two dozen people gathered during a rainy morning today to mourn their deceased family members at the site of last Saturday's deadly train crash in the city of Wenzhou in east China's Zhejiang Province.
Mourners placed flowers, lit candles and paper "money" at the site. A scrap of metal salvaged from one of the crushed train carriages was laid nearby. The mourners took turns kneeling and whispering messages to their dead loved ones. Some stood silently, while others sobbed or wailed uncontrollably. All refused to speak to reporters.
Chinese people traditionally mourn deceased loved ones on the seventh day after their death.
The high-speed train collision left 40 people dead and 191 others injured. The families of the victims, as well as the greater public, have repeatedly urged the government to release more information about the cause of the accident and the rescue efforts that followed it.
