Ching Ming Festival 清明節
Today is the traditional Chinese Ching Ming Festival. The weather is nice and sunny. The Tsangs along with our relatives visited my dad's grave site to remember and honor him. We brought flowers, tea, wine, pork buns, nuts, and fruits with us. The old and young prayed and sweeped the tomb. We also offered paper accessories and joss sticks, which were kindly provided by my mother-in-law. It was the first time Anson bowed in front of his grandpa's tomb. Ken and I also prayed for my smooth pregnancy and delivery. We wish our son healthy and strong. Paying respect to the departed is important in our culture. We would like to pass this tradition to the next generation.
