Alot of thoughts were running through my mind this afternoon. Met up with my maternal side and 扫墓. This wasn't my first time paying respect to the ancestors but somehow I felt our generation wasn't keen to know the traditional custom. For me, I only observe silently and see from far. Dad was right. My generation is too pampered. We are always being spoon feed. If one day when our parents are no longer able to lead us, who will? I think we will be at lost. Maybe in future there won't be 清明节 anymore. Which the probability is high. Sad but true.
I'm trying my best to go for such stuff and learn along the way. I don't want to lose this tradition and hope it will still pass down generations after generations and not end in our hands. It's time to do something about it. Next year, I'm gonna be involved for both side.
Just today, my mum's cousin saw the traditional kueh that my mum made in the morning. She was amazed and surprised that there's still people able to make. I'm proud to say, only my dearest mum know how to make in the whole family. It really makes me think alot and value the importance of the tradition. Sorry, today's post is more of reflection for myself. I hope there's people out there with the same thought as me. Hope this tradition will remain since we are Chinese!
