PAPER OFFERINGS FOR THE DEAD



During the Ching Ming festival, one might not be too surprised to see paper replicas of computers, laptops and other modern day items being burnt by the living for their dead ancestors. The tomb sweepers (the relatives of the dead) are really spoilt for choice when choosing what paper offerings to burn for the dearly departed.
I really do wonder if those in the netherworld would receive all the 'goodies' that are 'sent' by those in this world. I guess the descendants want theri ancestors to enjoy the good life that they had before stepping into the other dimension.
