Once again, spring grass turns green, and pear blossoms sway in the breeze as Qingming arrives. Qingming is a time-honored festival of spring rituals; during this season, old energies are shed and new ones welcomed, temperatures rise, and all things are pure and orderly, with the earth bathed in the serene beauty of spring—making it an ideal time for tending to ancestral graves and enjoying outdoor spring outings. However, recently, China’s epidemic situation has been characterized by numerous outbreaks, widespread transmission, and frequent occurrences, presenting a severe and complex防控 landscape. In light of this, Pengfei Group warmly reminds all employees and members of the public:

A different kind of Qingming, yet the same sentiment.

We encourage eco-friendly mourning practices such as “cloud-based memorial services,” home‑based remembrance, and surrogate grave‑tending, while implementing staggered visiting schedules to effectively reduce crowds and movement, thereby fostering a safe and civilized atmosphere for commemoration. Keep tomb‑sweeping visits simple and brief, minimize time spent on site, and depart promptly after completing the rites to avoid gatherings. Offer a bouquet of flowers, plant a tree, or share a cherished memory—honoring the departed and expressing our condolences—so that together we can elevate societal civility.

Closely monitor the epidemic situation.

Closely monitor the epidemic situation and prevention policies at your destination, and avoid non-essential travel. If travel is necessary, plan your route in advance and choose appropriate modes of transportation. Strictly limit travel to medium- and high-risk areas.

Strengthen personal protection and adopt healthy habits. When entering or exiting public places, be sure to wear a mask properly, wash your hands frequently, ensure adequate ventilation, avoid gatherings, and maintain a one-meter distance. Avoid touching your eyes, mouth, and nose with your hands, and minimize conversations and meals with others during travel.

Green Qingming

Though the distance may be great, it cannot dampen our longing; though our feelings run deep, we must never overlook safety. Only by upholding the new trend of civilized and eco‑friendly tomb‑sweeping can we ensure a safe and orderly Qingming holiday.

All of us at Pengfei should start with ourselves, becoming active practitioners of civilized mourning and pioneers in fostering positive social change. Through concrete, respectful acts of remembrance, we can express our heartfelt reverence for our ancestors, sages, and martyrs, and contribute to building a more civilized society.
