Latest Qing Ming Offerings Include KTV Lounges And Hostesses All Made Of Paper

Qing Ming Festival, or Tomb-Sweeping Day, falls on April 4 this year.

On this day, the Chinese will clean up and decorate the gravesites of their ancestors, make food offerings and also burn paper money and other paper ‘necessities’.

Over the years, we’ve seen these paper offerings evolve from just cash notes to include the latest phone models, gaming devices, and cars — almost everything a person would enjoy owning while they’re alive.

It looks like the manufacturers of these paper offerings have totally upped their game this year.

An IG post from Malaysian media site Moretify recently posted a list of the modern paper offering selection, and let’s just say times have advanced, even in the afterlife.

You can now burn life-sized cars, such as a Rolls Royce Wraith, Nissan GT-R R35, Toyota Alphard, or even a Lamborghini for departed family members and relatives.

If driving wasn’t their thing, there’s also the choice to pick from ‘SK-III’ or ‘Diur’ make-up sets and all sorts of luxury-brand handbags.

Of course, the latest gadgets, including cameras, Playstation 5, iPhones, iPads, and Apple Watch are also available.

Life-sized pets, like specific breeds of cats, dogs, and birds, are also an option.

To better cater to the hobbies of our ancestors, one can also burn paper instruments like guitars, harmonicas, pianos, and violins, and also exercise compounds including a football field, basketball, badminton, or tennis court.

The most interesting, however, are the various selections of scaled-down KTV lounges, which come with alcohol and — believe it or not — mini standees of actual KTV hostesses.

We don't know where they got the images of the women but we're pretty sure no one would give consent to this.

One netizen joked: “If I write my own name and burn it, would I be able to receive these items?” Suay or not, you can decide.
