Mid-Autumn Festival is a day that we are all eager and looking forward to. Every year, as we were preparing for the full moon day of August, our parents bought us two a lantern and a pair of delicious scones each. On the evening of the 15th, when it was only dusk, the pounding sound of the tiny army’s frog drums urged everyone to hurry and prepare. We joined and headed towards the village culture house. Dozens of lanterns of all colors, the shape of a fish, the shape of a butterfly, a star, … fluttering, fluttering, glowing. After the sister in charge of the delegation, we lined up in a long line around the stage. In the middle is a tray with all kinds of fruits and candies, everyone can love it. The most anticipated performance is the exciting lion dance. We both broke the deck together and watched the show. I really love Mid-Autumn Festival because through that occasion we know more solidarity and love each other.
