'Tis the Mid-Autumn Festival tomorrow. May we stay forever young and be healthy always too. I wondered why everyone prayed to the moon during my younger days. Later I was told that the legendary Chang'e, the Moon Goddess of Immortality and the Jade Rabbit live there. But when the Americans landed on this big rock years back, they found nothing. It's either the Goddess and the Rabbit went into hidding or the Americans had landed somewhere else. Haha. Well, I understand lovers pray for togetherness on this day as symbolized by the roundness of the moon. Btw, it's also the birthday of the Earth God (t'u-ti kung).
P.S. Boys and girls, have fun with your lantern and enjoy your mooncake.
