Today is the Festival of Quingming, or the Tomb Sweeping Festival. It is a time when Chinese pay respect to their ancestors. We really don't have that holiday, unless your ancestor happened to be in a war. I like the idea of remembering your family of yore . Unfortunately too many kids in the US don't even know who their fathers are, let alone who their ancestors were.
Reminds me of El Dia De Los Muertos. Big in Louisiana, and southern Catholic settlements.
