Embracing the Flower of Remembrance
The Flower of Veneration is a yearly celebration that brings communities together to remember loved ones who have passed.
The Special Flower Ceremony
The core of this event is the Flower Ceremony. Each family in the village brings a fresh flower to represent their lost loved one’s uniqueness. These flowers are arranged together, showing how every life, no matter how brief, adds to the community’s beauty.
As night falls, villagers gather around the flower memorial. They share stories and memories by candlelight, letting the departed live on through their tales. The ceremony ends with each family placing their flower in the memorial, and saying a final goodbye.
Respecting Those Who Passed
Many cultures deeply respect the dead. Even though our loved ones are no longer with us, they live on in our hearts and memories. The Flower of Veneration lets us express this lasting bond through tradition and togetherness.
Every flower in the memorial represents a life gone but not forgotten. When we gather to share our grief, joy, memories, and hopes, we find that death can’t break the ties that connect us. Life endures, like the blossoms woven together in the Flower of Veneration. Through love, there’s no end.

Jun’s Meeting with the Mysterious Flower Seller
Walking in Shanghai’s French Concession area, a lovely flowery smell catches your attention. You follow it to a small flower seller’s cart with colourful blooms. An older lady sits there, making a bouquet with care. She looks up and smiles, and her eyes show kindness.
“Hello, I’m Mei. How can I assist you today?” she asks. You say you’re just looking, fascinated by the pretty flowers. “Then please, take your time. Flowers can make you feel happy and lift your spirits.”
You walk among the flowers, smelling roses, lilies, orchids, and more. One flower stands out – a bright red one you’ve never seen before. Its petals are like a lotus flower, and it has a special glow.
“This is a very rare flower,” Mei says, noticing your interest. “It’s called the Hua Xin, or Flower of the Heart. Legend says it only blooms once every 100 years under a full moon.”
You look at the mysterious flower, enchanted by its beauty and Mei’s story. She sees your amazement and smiles again. “I’ll give you a special price. This flower brings good luck and happiness to anyone who has it.”
You buy the Hua Xin with joy, drawn to its beauty. While you keep walking, Mei calls out, “Remember, things aren’t always what they seem. Look inside for the truth.”
Her words are mysterious, like the flower. You think about Mei, her magical blossom, and what adventures and secrets might be waiting for you. Your quiet walk has led to a meeting that will change your journey in surprising ways.
