Authorities in northeast China's Yichun City late Sunday revoked its earlier decision to suspend entertainment activities Monday in a show of mourning for victims killed in a plane crash last Tuesday.

Gao Weidong, vice chief of the publicity department with the Yichun City Committee of the Communist Party of China, said the city had made a new decision late Sunday to readjust the timing and method of mourning for the victims killed in last Tuesday's crashed plane.

Gao cited the will of some of the family members to the dead victims as the reason for the drastic change in the mourning arrangements, but he failed to elaborate.

A Brazilian-made ERJ-190 jet carrying 96 people crashed upon landing in Yichun on Aug. 24, killing 42 of them. It is the deadliest commercial plane crash in China since 2004.

Yichun City government announced earlier Sunday a decision saying all public entertainment activities would be suspended across the city Monday to show deep condolences to those killed in the plane crash last Tuesday.

All of the city's newspapers would also be printed in black and white, and the local TV and radio stations shall not broadcast any entertainment programs, according to the earlier decision.
