Happy Mid Autumn Festival
Today is one of the important Chinese festival, known as the Mid Autumn Festival, or more familiarise with the name Mooncake Festival. This is the day where the family members stay to have a reunion dinner at home. At night, the elders will pray and serve the God with mooncakes and fruits while the children will enjoy playing the lanterns.
Ever since these few years, it seemed to be so quiet especially in town. Not much festive mood around. This year is the worst that I see! Hardly find children next doors, carrying lanterns around the garden. The situation may be a bit better in village.
Oh no! The Chinese culture will be fading if not to preserved. Children nowadays are too city like. Even my girl doesn't like to play lantern and eat mooncakes. It may due to the influence of the burning story by fire which is told to her. Or, it may because of the grandparents who don't like their house outside to be dirtied with melting candles.
Anyway, I still hope everyone will enjoy this special day.
