Burnt offerings at this year's Ching Ming festival include paper models of hospital ventilators and surgical face masks - for ancestors to use in the afterlife. The Ching Ming Festival is usually a big thing, all about ancestor worship and family ties. Crowds flock to cemeteries, clean up the graves of ancestors, make offerings of food, and burn paper money or other symbolic paper models representing the goods and wealth that their family members might need after passing away.
