Happy Mid-Autumn Festival

Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, it’s the day for family reunions. Early in the morning, my parents started cooking, and I was busily playing with my cousins. We hadn’t seen each other for a long time.

After the big dinner in the evening, the whole family went out for a walk. A full moon was hanging in the sky, bright and big. It let me think about the famous ancient verse which was written by Su Shi(苏轼): “We wish each other a long life so as to share the beauty of this graceful moonlight, even though miles apart(但愿人长久,千里共婵娟。).” (The English edition of this verse was searched out by Google. )

Later, we came back home and ate mooncakes(月饼). In recent years, we have had varies choices of mooncakes. Traditional ones make you fill full, and ice-cream ones make you fill cool. Both of them are delicious!

According to the Chinese proverb, Tomorrow’s moon will rounder than today’s(十五的月亮十六圆。). I’m waiting for it.
