On the evening of the Mid-Autumn Festival, children in southern China and other regions, as well as in Vietnam, traditionally go out carrying lanterns.
Xiao Pan, class is over. Why haven't you left yet? What are you looking at?
Teacher Liu, look at those children downstairs. They're all carrying lanterns. They're so beautiful!
It's the Mid-Autumn Festival today. In some parts of China, especially in the south, children go out at night carrying lanterns. That white one is a rabbit lantern. Children love them.
We do that in Hue too! In Vietnam, the Mid-Autumn Festival is a festival for children. We carry five-pointed star lanterns.
Star lanterns? I've never seen one before. Did you carry one around when you were little too?
Yes. Every year I'd go out with my friends, walking and singing along the way. This is my first Mid-Autumn Festival away from home.
You must be missing home, right? The college is holding a Mid-Autumn Festival event tonight. Everyone will make lanterns together. You should come too.
Really? Then can I make a star lantern?
Of course. How about you teach everyone how to make one?
Sure! I'll call my mom right now and ask her how to make a star lantern.
