The Qingming Festival is really a good innovation of ancient Chinese people. It provides the living an approach or opportunity to commemorate the dead. It's reported that a member of NPC once proposed incorporating holidays on lunar New Year's Eve, the Qingming Festival, the Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival into law for the sake of promoting traditional Chinese festivals. That sounds great and I can't agree more.
It doesn't rain today. I don't feel much melancholy either. But when I came back deep into night overwhelmed by chilly breeze, I have a strong desire to say hello to the Qingming Festival. Can you hear me? Soon I have to say farewell to you. 'Cos it's April 6th ten minutes later.
Good night.
