[00:24.69]This festival is a cheerful occasion, [00:27.69]for on this day,the dead are said to return to their homes [00:32.00]and they are welcomed by the living. [00:35.06]As they are expected to be hungry after their long journey, [00:39.35]food is laid out for them. [00:41.91]Specially-made lanterns are hung outside each house [00:45.52]to help the dead to find their way. [00:48.52]All night long,people dance and sing. [00:52.46]In the early morning the food that had been laid out for the dead [00:57.00]is thrown into a river or into the sea [00:59.88]as it is considered unlucky for anyone living to eat it. [01:04.33]In towns that are near the sea, [01:06.66]the tiny lanterns which had been hung in the streets the night before, [01:11.68]are placed into the water when the festival is over. [01:15.99]Thousands of lanterns slowly drift out to sea [01:20.08]guiding the dead on their return journey to the other world. [01:24.78]This is a moving spectacle for crowds of people stand on the shore [01:30.41]watching the lanterns drifting away until they can be seen no more.
