People celebrate it in warm ways. Families gather for a big dinner with mooncakes, pomelos, and other seasonal foods. In the evening, we admire the bright full moon together, as it symbolizes reunion. Many also share stories about Chang’e, a legendary fairy who lives on the moon. We celebrate it to honor family reunion and express good wishes. The festival carries people’s longing for loved ones far away and hopes for happiness, peace, and a bumper harvest. It’s a time to cherish family bonds and pass down our cultural traditions. Thank You $
