Qing Ming Festival

Today I have to wake up 5am in the morning and then go to my Grandparent grave to pay honour to them. It is a annual festive for chinese. We are suppose to clean the grave then present fruits and other food and also burn paper accessories such as Money for ancestor use in Hell.

Anyway, what I wish to share is the changes that I notice to this celebration. For the past 2-3 years, the people that go to pay honour to their ancestor, they will bring along fireworks. And then it became like new year celebration, where you can see firework up in the sky showering. The feeling is like I am going to New Year Countdown celebration.

So they are so happy that their parent or grandparent die? Thus they put firework to celebrate on this day?

I can only wonder.


Anyway, today is also a very lucky day to me. It is not something usual for us to see rainbow. But today I see double rainbow. The first one very clear and the second one less clear but can be seen on top of the first rainbow. Maybe I should have taken photo of it. But I am scare to do that. Coz I am at graveyard. I dun wish to take photo of some unknown things. :P
