Today is Tomb-sweeping Day. Because work is busy or far away from one's hometown, many young people in China choose to sacrifice their ancestors through Internet.They express their grief in the on-line memorial halls, feeling this way can make them less grieved. Those who is for Cyber-sacrifice says that it is a good way because there is too much pollution in the traditional way ( to burn the nether world's money will cause pollution); but those who are against this says that the traditional way is more genuine to the dead, symbolizing the Chinese virtue. Any idea?
