As the grass turns green, the Qingming Festival is approaching this year. Tomb sweeping is a Chinese tradition to commemorate and respect our ancestors. Amid the COVID-19 epidemic, cloud tomb sweeping and acting tomb sweeping have become new trends during this year's Qingming Festival.

Each year, the peak of tomb sweeping is before and after Qingming Festival. In the Yuling Cemetery, located in Xinjiangkou Sub-district, Songzi City, the journalist found that the cemetery gate is closed, and the staff are cleaning and offering flowers.

The Qingming Festival is very special this year, so, in order to meet the demand of most citizens, the cemetery offers acting tomb sweeping service for free. The staff along with cooperative sellers will present flowers to the tombs, and send related photos and videos to relatives.

In the Songzi Forest Cemetery, tomb sweeping is banned amid the epidemic, so recommended by the staff, citizen Mr. Huang chose the cloud tomb sweeping service.

To meet people's demand for online tomb sweeping, the civil affairs bureau of Songzi city announced the WeChat account of a tomb sweeping platform, Fannian, via its official WeChat account, through which citizens can burn incense sticks, offer flowers and leave messages after choosing the relevant cemetery and entering the object of sacrifice.
