My grandfather passed away yesterday morning (the evening of the 21st, Shanghai time).
I find it difficult to talk about death except via inappropriate humour. As such, I am now confessing to the Internet at large that I don't know what the dress protocol is when a beloved relative dies on Chinese New Year. I mean, I can't wear red... but I can't wear black/white either. It's Chinese New Year. If any less-faily Chinese person who knows the answer reads this, please reply in the next 30 minutes as I really do have to leave the house to acquire food.
