China has "Tomb Sweeping Day"

   In China, an annual "Tomb Sweeping Day" is held to show respect to dead relatives. This is similar to our Memorial Day.

   Often we see graves in our local cemeteries that are without any family members nearby to care for, and our Cemetery organization has no money to keep them looking nice. The cemeteries don't even seem to get watered, so no one has to weed them regularly.
