Qingming Festival


Every year Qingming Festival,usually occurring around April 5 of the Gregorian calendar
I will follow mine parents to mine pass away grandfather and grandmother grave. We will cleaning and sweeping graves, Ancestor worship, offering food to deceased, burning joss paper and so on. It's a time where i meet some of relative far away from mine place where they will come back to gather beside Chinese New Year occasion. I will meet mine cousin. I follow mine dad every year and it have be a culture to me. Although mine grandfather pass away when i still a kid. i didn't have much memory with him. This is the only thing we can do to show our respect, as if without them, it would not have us.
