Tomb Sweeping

yesterday

Many people wonder why it always seems to rain around the time of tomb sweeping day.
There is a folk saying: those who have left us are not truly gone.
They are hidden in the clouds, when it rains they follow the raindrops back down returning to the places they once knew so well.
We look at the rain outside the window and think it is just the weather.
But in truth, it carries the tears of those who miss us.
The rain falls to the ground, seeps into the soil, and takes our longing with it.
It delivers our feelings to them far away, so the rain is never just cold weather.
It is a bond that cannot be broken between two worlds.
It is our loved ones hidden among the clouds quietly coming back to see us again.
As Christians, we don't bow down to our ancestors.
Yesterday I went to the cemetery and wiped the tombstone.
Pray to God in front of the grave.

很多人想知道为什么清明节前后总是下雨。
有一句民间谚语说：那些离我们而去的人并非真的离去。
他们隐匿在云层之中，当下雨时，他们会随着雨滴落下来，回到他们曾经熟悉的地方。
我们望着窗外的雨，认为这只是天气。
但实际上，它承载着那些亲人思念的眼泪。
雨水落到地面，渗入土壤，带着我们的思念一同离去。
它将我们的感情传递给远方的他们，所以雨水绝不仅仅是寒冷的天气。
这是两个世界之间无法割裂的纽带。
那是隐藏在云层中的我们的亲人，悄然归来再次与我们相见。
作为基督徒，我们不跪拜祖先。
昨天我去扫墓，擦拭了墓碑。
在坟前向上帝祈祷。
