Tomb-Sweeping Day story.

1. Once upon a time, a man named Li ranked fifth, so everyone called him. Wu Li is very clever and likes studying since he was a child. At the age of three, he knew how to be filial to his parents, which won the praise of his neighbors. Li's father also often says that his fifth son is very filial.

Gradually, Li's father got old and died. Because of the interest dispute between other brothers, the two brothers disagree. In the end, only one person handled Li's funeral. From then on, Wu Li always dreamed of his father's smile on the eve of Tomb-Sweeping Day, and Wu Li also thought it was a hint of his father's happiness in another world.

3. Later, Wu Li's official career was smooth and he went to a different place to be an official. The trip lasted for ten years, and he never had a chance to go home to pay homage to his dead father.

On the eve of Tomb-Sweeping Day one year, Wu Li dreamed of his father. This is the first time he dreamed that his father was haggard, panting and coughing. After waking up, Li realized that he had been busy with business for many years and was ashamed of not being filial to his father, so every year Tomb-Sweeping Day would go back to his hometown to pay homage to his father.
