Ehek..Pn Tay, you took the picture of tombstone...That's extreme!(to me) If my mum she would scold me for taking such pictures.
it's okay what, I have taken close up of all my relatives' tombs, to keep in my album, I see nothing wrong.
Cos some ppl kinda pantang...Especially the older generations. :)
ok, will bear that in mind, but the newspaper also take pictures of cemeteries and publish them in the papers somemore! (when they do Qing Ming stories)
It's a good tradition to remember our loved ones who have passed away. A lot of Chinese people don't want to practice this tradition anymore. Althogh it's only once a year. My family still practice Qing Ming on the beach as my relatives' ashes have been scattered at the sea. We say a prayer on the beach and scatter some flower petals at the sea.
