Aside from tomb-sweeping and paying respects to our ancestors, during Qingming we also go out for spring outings to enjoy the beauty of nature." "We also swing on swings, fly kites, insert willow branches and wear willow twigs, play cuju, and shoot willow branches." "Coco? I don't understand what Qingming Festival has to do with dreaming." "Stop chattering and look at the Celestial Screen! Tsk tsk, how is this art style... uh, how should I describe it? It feels real, yet a bit unreal." [Coco's father was a musician, and their whole family loved singing and dancing, living a very happy life. However, Coco's father had a dream: he wanted his music to be heard all over the world. One day, Coco's father left without saying goodbye. He shouldered his beloved guitar and left home, never to return. In a fit of anger, Coco's mother, Imelda, completely banished music from their lives. To make a living and support her daughter, mother Imelda rose to the occasion, rolled up her sleeves, and learned how to make shoes. Later on, her descendants also became shoemakers, and their business grew more and more prosperous.]
