Zhou Family Legacy: Thick Blood, Fat Profits

(Beijing) – While Zhou Yongkang and his relatives were rising to power in the 1990s, the family's ancestral burial ground became a common place for solemn visits by a variety of government officials.

The tombs are a few hundred meters north of the village of Xiqiantou, near the banks of the Lujiawan River, in Jiangsu Province. The oldest tombs, following local tradition, are earthen. Many have crumbled over time, becoming nearly indiscernible beneath the plot's mulberry trees.
