Edited version

Today is the first day after Tomb Sweeping Day.

Perhaps we still haven’t come out from the emotion of remembering our loved ones.

I heard someone speaking about life when I came into the office. I heard them say: “we have a lot of things (which) we are not able to change it, such as death. No one asked us if we wanted to die, just like no one asked us if we wanted to be born.”

Actually, some day, we will all die. But on all the other days, we will not, right ?
