Some foods are not just about taste – they carry memories.

For many families in China, qingtuan – sweet green glutinous rice dumplings filled with red bean paste – is part of Qingming Festival, a time to remember loved ones who have passed away.

Through the eyes of little girl Nannan, remembrance feels gentle – in the sweet bites of her grandma's homemade qingtuan, in a family outing on a spring day, and in a kite drifting so high into the sky.

Those we love are never far – they live on in all of these little moments.
