Online Class Notes (Jesse) [30] [23]

Yesterday was tomb sweeping festival. It is also called “Pure Brightness” by China Daily. What a beautiful day it was! But there was a bad news we’ve heard is My grandma passed away at that day. The most unacceptable thing was the way that the adults (the relatives) treated to grandma in her last life. They agreed with taking her two injections only to lengthen two hours of her life. For me, I just felt her painful has been lengthened. I can’t understand that. Why Chinese people can’t accept the loss of life more softly and peacefully.
