Cartoon band Whale Island (\u9cb8\u9c7c\u5c9b\u4e50\u961f<\/a>) released its first single just after the Qingming festival, also known as Tomb Sweeping Day, this April. Rollicking through the many deaths of the year past, \u201cPoor Guy\u201d is also a tribute to those who succumbed to ongoing perils in China, from chengguan<\/em> beatings to poisoning. The song is not just a year in review, but a jaunty eulogy for many of the dead of today\u2019s China.<\/p>\n
