Vancouver YFT Observed Double Ninth Festival
Members of the YFT Society of Canada and
Vancouver celebrate the Double Ninth or
Chongyang Festival at 11am on Sunday, October 15
at the Mountainview Cemetery Chinese Pavilion.
As ¡§nine¡¨ is pronounced ¡§jiu¡¨ meaning ¡§long¡¨ in
Chinese, so people endow the word jiu with the
meaning of longevity with a person's life. In
China, in the year of 1989, Chongyang Festival
was designated as Senior's Day - a day to
respect the elderly and to let them enjoy
themselves. Many companies organize groups where
retired people can go out to climb mountains or
on other outings. Members of a family also
accompany their elders to have a relaxing day in
a natural setting while wishing health and
happiness upon them. After our ceremony, a rare sight was seen, we watched a flock of Canadian geese flew overhead, moving southwards.
We then drove to the YFT Society Hall for a
hearty and delicious afternoon buffet lunch. Martin Yee
