Yesterday was the Ching Ming Festival (清明節) in Hongkong. It is a holiday celebrated by the chinese people to pay respect to their dearly departed ancestors.
Literally, Ching Ming means "clean and bright". And yes, this is so as we had to work and clean the graves from weeds aside from making offerings of food and lighting incense candles.
It was a bright and sunny day. I prayed for my Ah Ma to watch over us and bless us with good health, success and happiness always.
Here is a short video taken on the occasion. Hope and pray that this tradition lives on especially among the young ones.
Have a great week ahead!
