There, among the 600-year-old birch trees, are buried 77 generations of Confucius' descendants.

The skylight punctured by flying shrapnel has been replaced. The outdoor stairway around which two students died and five were injured has been rebuilt, widened and landscaped with terraces. As for the library, the scene of most of the carnage, it no longer officially exists. Workmen gutted the area and then sealed the entryway with a wall and two rows of blue lockers.
