BEIJING, Jan. 2 (Xinhua) -- A cold front is forecast to sweep across northwest and central China over the next few days, as thousands of stranded motorists wait for highways in southwest China to reopen after freezing rain prompted their closure.A cold front will sweep across northwestern China Sunday and Monday, bringing temperature drops and strong winds, the China Meteorological Administration forecast in a statement on its website Sunday.Temperatures will fall 6 to 8 degrees Celsius in northwestern China and eastern parts of the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, with some parts seeing a drop of over 10 degrees Celsius.The cold front will move eastward and affect most of central and eastern China on Tuesday and Wednesday, according to the statement.A worker clears snow on the ancient city wall of Xi'an, capital of northwest China's Shaanxi Province, Jan. 2, 2011.Northern regions will see temperature drops of 4 to 8 degrees Celsius, with temperatures in some parts dropping 10 degrees Celsius, the statement said.Light to moderate snow or sleet will fall on the eastern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau, in northwestern China, and in regions along the Yellow, Huaihe and Yangtze rivers over the coming three days.Both southwest Guizhou and central Hunan provinces will see heavy snowfalls and some parts of the two provinces will experience freezing rain, according to the forecast.In the last 24 hours as of 8 a.m. Sunday, freezing rain had lashed 62 counties and cities in Guizhou.Most expressways in Guizhou were closed Sunday due to freezing rain that has stranded some 6,200 people on highways and some 11,800 others in transportation stations, according to provincial transportation authorities.Transportation authorities have initiated an emergency response, dispatching 545 emergency vehicles and 4,200 personnel since Saturday afternoon to save people from the freezing rain.The rescuers are trying to evacuate the trapped passengers and drivers to nearby villages, service stations and the office buildings of the province's transportation department, said Chen Mengren, director of the department.The local civil affairs department has delivered food, 550 quilts, 800 coats and 4,000 bottles of water to the relief sites set up along the closed highways.The closing of a section of China National Highway 210 in Guizhou at 7 p.m. Saturday had stranded some 1,500 vehicles as of 5 p.m., leaving more than 7,000 occupants trapped in Nandan County in neighboring Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, according to Nandan's publicity department.Highway closing in Guizhou also incurred traffic jam in neighboring Hunan Province, trapping more than 6,000 passengers on a highway leading to Guizhou. As of 8.p.m., most of the stranded passengers had been relocated to the nearby Xinhuang County.According to Guizhou's transportation department, the highway is unlikely to open until Monday and the transportation conditions in the next few days will not be optimistic as more cold fronts are forecast to hit the province from Wednesday to Saturday.Snow and freezing rain have also hit Hunan Province. But meteorological authorities said the possibility of the province suffering from harsh conditions similar to those in the winter of 2008 is small.

JINAN, Dec. 21 (Xinhua) -- A rural endowment insurance scheme, which is being operated on trial basis in part of the country's rural area, may bring an end to the tradition of rural seniors who depend on their children for financial support.Under the insurance scheme introduced in September last year, farmers across the country, who aged 60 years or older, each can receive a pension of 55 yuan (8.3 U.S. dollars) paid by the government per month."I never dreamed I would receive a pension like urban residents do," said Liu Fengyan from Nanlin Village, Pingyi County, in east China's Shandong Province."My wife and I receive 110 yuan in total each month and that is enough to subsidize our daily expenses," Liu told reporters.Liu, together with hundreds of thousands of other elderly rural Chinese across China, is one of the first to benefit from the insurance scheme.The Chinese government has vowed to expand the scheme 10 percent per year and cover the whole country by the year 2020.Those under the age of 60 will have to pay 100 to 800 yuan per year into a fund so they can draw the pension once they hit 60 years of age."Farmers are enthusiastic about the program, and nearly 90 percent of farmers in the pilot areas in Shandong have joined the scheme," said Liu Qianjin, deputy director of the Rural Social Insurance Department of the Shandong Provincial Human Resources and Social Security Bureau.Previous pension programs that were not widely accepted because their funding came from the farmers themselves. The new pension is different - it is government funded.The value of the pension differs across China, depending on the financial status of the relevant local government."My husband's mother can get 260 yuan pension each month. She was never covered by social insurance before," said Wang Huailan, 58, from Nancai Village, Shunyi District, Beijing.Wang herself is able to receive 347 yuan per month from the urban-rural residents' pension insurance program.In China's most impoverished province, Guizhou, 27 counties, or 30 percent of all counties, are covered by the pension scheme which benefits more than 1.91 million low-income farmers.By the end of 2010, the rural pension scheme will reach 23 percent of all Chinese counties, Minister of Human Resources and Social Security Yin Weimin said in a recent statement.China's elderly population is growing quickly, posing a new challenge for the government.The number of elderly people aged 60 years or over in China in 2009 grew by 7.25 million to more than 167 million, a report by the Office of the China National Committee on Ageing said.China has a population of 1.3 billion, with 56 percent of its citizens living in rural areas not covered by social security programs.The rural pension scheme -- endorsed by the State Council, China's cabinet -- will ensure the basic living standards of elderly Chinese in rural areas and help narrow the standard-of-living gap between urban and rural areas.Although it is a small sum of money, it is the start of a new era in China, Premier Wen Jiabao said in an interview with Xinhua at the end of 2009.

NANJING, Dec. 13 (Xinhua) -- About 5,000 Chinese and foreigners gathered Monday in Nanjing, capital of east China's Jiangsu Province, to mourn hundreds of thousands of people who were killed by invading Japanese troops 73 years ago.Participants in the ceremony stood in silent tribute, offered wreaths and bowed in front of the Memorial Hall of the Victims in the Nanjing Massacre, with sirens wailing in the drizzling morning on Monday, the 73rd anniversary of the massive slaughter."The Japanese soldiers invaded Nanjing when I was four, and they killed some of my family members. On the anniversary of the massacre every year I would come here to express my grief," said Sun Xuelan, a 77-year-old survivor, who is confined to a wheelchair.Japanese troops occupied Nanjing on Dec. 13, 1937 and began a six-week massacre. Records show more than 300,000 people -- not only disarmed soldiers , but also civilians -- were killed.Mikhalchev Mikhail, deputy director of the Central Museum of the Great Patriotic War in Russia, said, "In the history of human civilization, some facts shouldn't be forgotten, and the Nanjing Massacre was one of them."He noted that the tragedy had become a symbol of the Chinese people's bitter suffering and prompted all people to learn the preciousness of peace.""We should remember the history, but not hatred. Peace is a common desire of all human beings," said Nanjing citizen Yu Hong , who attended the ceremony.Besides the memorial ceremony, Buddhist monks from China and Japan held a religious service Monday at the Memorial Hall of the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre.The assembly was attended by 15 monks from six Buddhist temples in Japan, more than 50 monks and Buddhist believers from China and thirty Massacre survivors and relatives of victims.The monks chanted Buddhist prayers of mourning and prayed for peace.Aori Take Shuna, abbot of Japan's Reiunti Temple, read a poem he wrote to honor the dead and prayed for long-term friendship between the peoples of China and Japan.Yamauchi Sayoko, who was a representative of a sect of Japanese Buddhism, said that the people of Japan, which invaded and occupied China in the 1930s and 1940s, were deeply regretful for the victims of the war and sincerely hoped such a tragedy would never be repeated.Built in 1985, the memorial hall annually records five million visitors since it was expanded and renovated in 2007.Zhu Chengshan, curator of the hall, said that every year when the anniversary of the Nanjing Massacre occurs , nearly 10,000 Nanjing citizens would swarm the hall and spontaneously mourn the victims.On Sunday, workers began to extend a memorial wall at the memorial hall on which names of those killed are engraved.After the extension, the wall would have 10,324 names, 1,724 more than three years ago, Zhu said.Collecting the names of the victims was an important job in researching the Massacre, but it was difficult to find witnesses and documents decades later, he said.Moreover, a group of historians from China, Japan and the United States has begun compiling an encyclopedia on the Nanjing Massacre, which was expected to embody a wide range of historical documents and pictures. "The dictionary may serve as a consolation to the deceased," Zhu said.
