Week 7: Tomb Sweeping Day

  After six hours of classes, my spring vacation finally came. Since the Tomb Sweeping Day is during the vacation, my family and I spent a whole afternoon sweeping graves of my grant grandfather and my grandfather a day before April 5th. I seldom go grave-sweeping with my parents because I don’t like the smells of incense sticks and the heat of burning paper money. However, since I was free that day, my dad asked me to go with them so that he could teach me some traditions and customs that I should know.
  We went to my grant grandfather’s grave first. My grant grandfather died four years before I was born so I don’t even know his name. However, my dad told me that he was a very long-live person who died at the age of 99. And then we went to my grandfather’s grave. I also know very little about my grandfather because he passed away when I was only six years old.

  My dad tried to teach me some customs I must understand when going to graveyard all the way; however, I just kept trying to recall the memory of the time my grandpa and I spent together.
