我仍依稀记得,出殡队伍里有不少戴红帽子的人。
我捧着一个红漆的木盘,大人告诉我,木盘里竖的木牌是我的妈妈。
我很不理解。我只觉得这队伍很有趣。
I only have vague memories of the funeral, but I remember a number of people wearing red caps.
I was carrying a red lacquer tray with a wooden tablet on it, which I was told was my mother.
I did not understand much, I just felt that the procession was quite interesting.
