The Double Ninth Festival which is on the ninth day of the ninth lunar month is a traditional festival in China.It is also called "Chung Yeung"(???).Many people mark the festival by climbing hills in remenbrance of an ancient Chinese family which escaped plague and death by fleeing to a mountaintop. There is an old sentence of Chinese poem,"when the Festival of Double Ninth comes round, I'll come for your chrysanthemums again." The main emotion of that poem is to show the deep missing of the relatives. But nowadays, more and more people don't do this now. For me , I didn't climb any hill yesterday. Well, did you clime hills yesterday?
