(Seria, 5th) In conjunction with the traditional Qingming Festival—a day for honoring ancestors and cherishing memories—the Welfare Group of the Muar Fuzhou Association in Brunei formed three teams this morning to visit three Chinese cemeteries in the Belait district, conducting their annual Qingming public memorial ceremony.
At dawn, while the morning mist had yet to clear, members of each group, carrying a sense of solemnity, arrived one after another at the locations for the memorials. During the ceremony, everyone straightened their attire, offered incense and tributes, and bowed in respect, expressing remembrance and gratitude for the pioneers amidst curling smoke. Qingming is not only a day for paying respects but also a time to carry on memories and perpetuate culture. On this land filled with history and emotion, descendants sincerely continue the tradition of honoring the past, allowing the spirit of forebears and the family legacy to be passed on from generation to generation.
