The weather is turning cool gradually, and there are big differences of the
temperatures between day and night. I even have a little sense of sentiment of autumn. As the atmosphere of the autumn is becoming more and more evident, the mid-autumn festival is coming.
The moon on the fifteenth of August of the lunar calendar is roundest in the
year, and the day is a time of reunion in Chinese people. As to people who are
far away from their homes, they undoubtedly miss their relatives and friends much more on the day.
In my childhood, when the round moon was hanging in the sky at night of the
mid-autumn festival, my father always put a table in the yard, besides some moon
cakes, there were also fruits such as watermelon, apples and grapes on the table. My grandma, mother, father, younger sister and I were around the table enjoying the delicious food and talking and laughing. Although I was very happy, I felt no more than amused then. Many years later, I was deeply aware how worth it was to cherish. All my loves were around; there was rare worry in the heart and everything was so peaceful. The moonlight was very gentle and warm, and our family
was as whole as the moon then.
I remember that when I was in the third grade of the senior high school, we
had classes everyday even at weekends, but our school gave us students a day off
on the mid-autumn festival, according to our school, it would be probably rare
for us to be together with all the families on the festival. I didn’t understand clearly the decision of our school at that time. So many years elapsed, and it
was really my last mid-autumn festival that I spent in my hometown.
I have lived in another city for more than ten years, and I have my own small family in the city, but the sense of loneliness comes into my heart from time
to time. Walking among the crowds of people, I don’t feel as if I belong here.
I always cannot help recalling the people and things in my hometown. The fragments of my childhood often occurred to me when I don’t expect them. After a short
soothing time, I have to experience a long while of upset. At the night when the moon is round, I particularly miss my relatives and friends in my hometown. Looking up at the moon, I think the moonlight is so dismal that makes me feel greatly empty. I spent one and another moon festivals with such a sentimental and worrying mood.
The longer I am away from my hometown, the more seriously I am homesick. Although it is the same moon, there are thousands of kilometers away between the people who enjoyed the moon at that time. People often say that what you are thinking about is what you can see from the moon. When will I sense the pleasure and
the satisfaction of reunion instead of the loneliness?
