Once in Tomb-Sweeping Day, I went to help my grandfather sweep the grave with my parents and sister. We climbed the mountain to sweep the grave together. I saw adults throwing drinks on the ground and weeding. It's really hard! We also pick flowers and bracken. I see many bamboo shoots underground! "How did we dig up the bamboo shoots we ate?" I asked. Mother replied, "They were all dug up with hoes." "Oh, that must be very tiring," I said. Mother said, "Yes, so cherish the food!" " "Qingming Festival swept me to see many novel things and know the hardships of labor. I got these experiences because I commemorated this festival.
