Melancholic Shining Moon

The third Mid Autumn Festival abroad.

I have no expectation for relishing delicate moon cakes or any big feast. Like the past two years, CSSA will hold its annual outdoor celebration, where we can pay two bucks for a treat of a small moon cake and a few Chinese dishes, you know, that take-away fast food type (thank God they usually offer quite authentic Chinese flavors). I know I can hardly expect too much.

For a very very long time, I haven't been able to enjoy this festival at home, with loved ones. To a large extent, I'm used to this kind of status, although I don't want to.

Just received your message, asking if I'm OK as I sounded a bit low.

I replied "maybe just my festival melancholy", and you said "I'm with you."

What else can I say except a "Thank you" from the bottom of my heart?

I tell myself, for the next Moon Festival and the ones to come, I will not be alone.

As Leslie sings:

"一再望 这月更亮 但愿我与你岁月长"。
