Mid-Auturm Festival or Moon Festival
First Year
Second Year
Moon Cake
It is one of the most important festival in China. We will have a big dinner with the whole families. Because Mid-Auturm festival is in the full-moon day, so it means "get together" or "reunion" in China. And after the dinner, we will see the full moon together and eat "moon cake". This festival is in October, I cannot have the dinner with my families since I came to America. It was the second Mid-Auturm festival we celebrated in America. Although I could not stay with my families, I would not feel lonely.
