1. Enjoy a poem:
The Double Ninth Festival
On the Mountain Holiday Thinking of my Brothers in Shandong
九月九日忆山东兄弟
All alone in a foreign land,
独在异乡为异客,
I am twice as homesick on this day.
每逢佳节倍思亲。
I imagine my brothers climb up a hill, dogwood in hand,
遥知兄弟登高处,
And all except me merrily go their way.
遍插茱萸少一人。
