I created a series of my family archives to commemorate my grandfather who passed away in 25th March 2024. before His death he passed the Peng family book to my father, and when my father returned to Europe he passed it to me.
Along with the book there was also Zi Sun Qian (Moneys for Descendants), an ancient chinese tradition when the elder of the family dies he leaves money to his descendants to wish for luck and protection for the heir of the family. For the convenience of storage and carrying, my father wrapped it in a Xiangtan Pang Ge betel nuts bag. Pang Ge Bing Lang is a famous and local Xiangtanese food.
