The Belait District Foochow Association celebrated the annual Xiao Qin (Filial Piety) festival on the night of June 29 at their premises on Jalan Bunga Simpur and Jalan Bunga Raya, Kuala Belait.
Members from the association and guests from the Fuzhou Shiyyi Association in Brunei Darussalam attended the celebration and paid respect to seniors and ancestors.
The celebration’s chairperson Sandy Lau highlighted how the elderly and the ancestors form family’s foundation.
“Whether it be joy or sadness, you (the elderly and ancestors) will always accompany us with a firm grip and warm embrace. It is you who taught us how to walk and talk in being a person, but most importantly, you taught us how to love and be loved.” – Daniel Lim
