FEEDING THE GHOSTS

Feeding the ghosts (Harinezumi) from Edwin Lee on Vimeo.

"Some quirky footage shot in Hong Kong with a Digital Harinezumi of what goes on during 'Chung Yeung' Festival (重陽節), a Chinese tradition where families gather to pay respects to their ancestors. On this day, I went with my family to 'visit' my great grandmother and great grandfather. The tradition includes burning paper offerings such as hell money and other items, as well as incense/joss sticks. Then afterwards, ss per Buddhist tradition, we all enjoy a nice vegetarian meal together."
