Mid -Autumn Festival 2020

In Chinese folklore, the rabbit often portrays as a companion to the moon goddess Chang Er and also the love story of this beautiful lady and a hero named Hou Yi. The festival usually falls on the 15th Day of the Eight Month according to the Chinese lunar calendar this year it falls on the 1st of October 2020,  tonight the Chinese communities will celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival also known as the Mooncake Festival or Lanterns Festival this year due to the pandemic of Covid19 everything had scaled down which was held mostly in every shopping mall selling mooncakes, lanterns, pomelo even in Chinatown there are no stalls this year to usher the festival and I hope we could get back into full force next year the year of the OX big strong and friendly. Remember my mother always told us not to point your finger toward the moon or else your ears will be cut true or myth but I did experience before my ear was cut is it a coincident.
