Qingming Festival is a Chinese holiday. It is a time for Chinese people to sweep tombs and worship their ancestors. Families gather together on this day to pay respects to their ancestors.

Qingming Festival

Shanghai Lockdown

Online Tomb Sweeping

From March to May 2022, there was a massive outbreak in Shanghai. Pevople had to stay at home under quarantine.

As the Qingming Festival in 2022 coincided with the Shanghai epidemic, I had to sweep the tombs online. Online tomb sweep is a form of tomb sweeping by setting up an online mausoleum and offering incense and flowers on the online mausoleum.
