To share one moon

Today is Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival, or Moon Festival. Chinese Moon Festival is very much like Thanksgiving in North America.

On this night, families get together to admire the bright, full moon while eating sweet moon cakes and enjoying a cup of good tea. Under this full moon friendships are renewed, families are reunited, and long-lost loved ones find their way to each other. Under the bright moonlight people toast each other’s good health, family togetherness, and wish peace for everyone. It is a time to reflect, to think of our absent loved ones, and to wish our families and friends well.
