In my hometown, people use different ways to commemorate the dead. Our school is ready to organize some students to place some flowers they have made in front of the tomb stones to pay tribute to those martyrs. Almost every family burns some paper moneyand offer sacrifices to their ancestors at the tomb. At the same time, some people burn incense at home to pay respect to their ancestors.

Tomb-sweeping day has became a special day for me since ten years ago .In that day,I missed my mother greatly. She was a good mother ,but she left me forever .In my home town ,people always burn incense and paper made to resemble money as on offering to the dead in front of tomb stone .The whole family will take some food which was the favourite of the dead's place it in front of tomb stoneand sit a circle for a while .They will talk ,think or cry .Everybody have to eat somethingwhen they leave and cannot look back.

真的很感谢，我记住了。Thank you very very much!{:soso_e100:}

it is a long story

in contrast to traditional ways, many people choose to mourn for their late family members online this year.

they postarticles and pictures of the dead on the internet to express their sadness. others plant trees or present fresh flowers,which is regarded as a healthy and friendly environmental method compared with burning paper money , the traditional way followed by chinese for thousands of years.

Actually,i've taken part in the tomb-sweeping day several times with my husband.in my city,people usually burn "paper_money"to memorize the dead,that is a kind of special material paper which used to instead of real money .so,we bought some "paper-money"every year and burn them in the late evening at the crossing road together.however,when we do this with other strangers together,we don't feel sorrow but a little exciting feeling in my heart.i do miss the dead of my family,but because it's the only chance for us to light the fire for a right reason in public.

so.

In my hometown,people always burn paper made to resemble money as an offering to the dead.
