Protests have broken out in Guizhou province in southern China. This is a poor, rural area far from big cities like Shenzhen and Shanghai. The protests began in Shidong town over the weekend. People are upset about a new rule from local leaders. The rule says dead people must be cremated, not buried.
Many villagers belong to the Miao ethnic group. For them, burying the dead is a key part of their traditions and culture.
