News Content: SEOUL, Incheon, April 5 (Xinhua) — (Reporter Liu Xu) As the Qingming Festival arrives, a time for remembering loved ones, the Chinese Embassy in South Korea’s Minister-Counselor and Consul-General Zhong Hongnuo led a team of diplomats on April 4 to join the Incheon Chinese Association in a solemn and heartfelt ceremony at the Chinese Expatriates’ Cemetery in Incheon’s Bupyeong District.
During the ceremony, Zhong Hongnuo highlighted that Qingming祭扫 is not only a traditional Chinese custom but also a profound way to express our grief and pay tribute to our ancestors. He emphasized that every expatriate resting there serves as a bridge and bond for friendly exchanges between China and South Korea, and their contributions and spirit deserve eternal remembrance.
Diplomats from the embassy and members of the Chinese Association together laid flowers at each grave, bowing in respect, to honor the early immigrants with deep admiration and endless memories. They also meticulously cleaned the tombstones, ensuring each was spotless, as a sign of utmost respect and sorrow.
The head of the Incheon Chinese Association remarked that these commemorations not only honor the ancestors but also preserve the history of the Chinese diaspora and contribute to the construction of a spiritual home for the new generation of overseas Chinese. They hope such events will encourage the Korean Chinese community to cherish their roots and origins while demonstrating their unity and filial piety to the Korean society.
This memorial event not only pays tribute to the pioneering Chinese expatriates but also affirms and carries forward the deep friendship between China and South Korea. Respecting and inheriting historical and cultural traditions, it also infuses new meaning into the bilateral friendship, embodying the Chinese virtue of remembering one’s sources and respecting the elderly.
