Celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival 

The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Moon Festival, is a traditional holiday celebrated in many East Asian cultures. The festival is held on the 15th day of the 8th month of the lunar calendar, when the moon is believed to be at its fullest and brightest. 

During lunchtime on Friday, September 15th (last day of this term), international students will commemorate the Mid-Autumn Festival. They will gather outside the library to partake in the joyous occasion, sharing mooncakes and dumplings. They wish all of you and your loved ones harmony, happiness and togetherness.  

Additionally, they have prepared drawings of a love story behind the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is the tale of Chang'e and Houyi. These artworks will be displayed in the library. Furthermore, they've meticulously crafted paper-cut artworks like the Moon, rabbits and lanterns, along with a cultural video recounting the tale of Chang'e and Houyi. These artworks will be displayed and a cultural video will be played on September 15th during lunchtime in the library as well. These efforts are their way of conveying their affection for this festive tradition.
