Old Chinese Beliefs



Old Chinese Beliefs

A girl considered the implications and the truth about the old Chinese Beliefs by the untimely death of her father.

Hui Min’s father passed away suddenly when she was only 12 years old and she left with only her mother and elder siblings. Hui Ming did not follow or believe the traditional Chinese beliefs followed by her relatives. So when she was told that her father death, the 7th day, her father’s spirit will be coming back for his final visit, she thought it was a complete nonsense besides she was too distract by her father’s death.
