Paper accessories are burned for the victims of the devastating earthquake that occurred on May 12 last year. Burning paper replicas of valued items is a custom that is believed to send gifts to loved ones who have died. Barbed wires normally surrounding the quake-jolted ruins in Beichuan County, Sichuan Province, have been lifted for four days through China's annual Tomb Sweeping Day, which falls on Saturday this week.
