Xiao Wei walked out of the classroom with his classmates, heading towards the dormitory.
On the way, Xiao Wei noticed the moon in the sky and couldn't help but exclaim, "The moon is really beautiful tonight."
"Yes, tonight is the Chongyang Festival, and the moon is especially round," a classmate replied in agreement.
Xiao Wei remembered the story the teacher had told earlier and suddenly had an idea. "How about we celebrate the Chongyang Festival together tonight?"
"Sounds great! How should we celebrate?" everyone responded enthusiastically.
Xiao Wei thought for a moment and said, "We could climb the small hill behind the classroom. It's not very high, but we can still experience the feeling of climbing."
"We can also make Dewberries out of colored paper and pin them on our clothes to express our longing for our families."
Hearing this, the classmates became excited and expressed their agreement.
That evening, a group of young people climbed up the small hill behind the classroom. Although the hill was not tall, it was enough for them to overlook the entire school and see the scenery in the distance.
The wind at the top of the hill was strong, causing their clothes to flutter.
Xiao Wei stood at the summit, gazing at the round moon on the horizon, imagining his brothers back home and his family also climbing high and enjoying the beautiful view.
"I really wish I could celebrate with them," Xiao Wei murmured to himself.
"Xiao Wei, don't be sad. Celebrating together at school is also fun," a classmate patted his shoulder and comforted him.
Xiao Wei turned his head and looked into his classmates' caring eyes, feeling warmth in his heart.
Indeed, although he was in a foreign land, having so many good friends around him allowed him to feel the warmth and joy of the festival just as much.
Xiao Wei smiled and took a piece of colored paper shaped like a Dewberry from his clothes, handing it to a classmate. "Here you go, this is for you to express my thoughts and blessings for you."
The classmate smiled, accepted the Dewberry, and pinned it on their clothes. "Thank you, Xiao Wei."
Other classmates also exchanged Dewberries with each other, expressing their thoughts and blessings for one another.
In the night breeze, the laughter of the young boys intertwined with the fragrance of Dewberry, drifting through the air above the hills. Xiao Wei closed his eyes, feeling the gentle wind brush against his cheeks, as if he could sense the warmth and love from his family back home. He thought that even though he was far from home, the longing and blessings in his heart would always reach his loved ones.
The Chongyang Festival, a time for reminiscing about home and family, became warm and unforgettable thanks to the companionship of his classmates and the sharing of Dewberry. On that day, Xiao Wei spent an unforgettable time in the classroom with his classmates. Although he was away from home, he felt the warmth from both his classmates and the school.
He believed that no matter where he went, as long as there was love in his heart, the warmth of home would never be far away. The Chongyang Festival is one of China's important traditional festivals. It falls on the ninth day of the ninth month in the lunar calendar. The word "nine" sounds like "long-lasting," so the festival also symbolizes a wish for longevity.
In traditional Chinese culture, Chongyang Festival includes customs such as climbing heights, inserting Dewberry, and eating Chongyang Cake. On this day, people climb to high places to enjoy the view, insert Dewberry for protection against evil spirits, and eat Chongyang Cake to pray for peace. Through these activities, people express their longing and blessings for family, friends, and loved ones.
After climbing, Xiao Wei and his classmates sat on top of a small hill, enjoying Chongyang Cake together and sharing in the joy of the festival. They talked about interesting stories from their hometowns and chatted about their families, with laughter echoing around them, bringing joy to their hearts. As Xiao Wei savored the sweet Chongyang Cake, his mood became sweeter as well.
He thought that even though he was far from home, his family back home and his classmates around him were indispensable parts of his life. Their care and support were the driving force behind his life. Through this celebration of Chongyang Festival, Xiao Wei gained a deeper understanding of its significance. He realized that no matter where he went, as long as there was love in his heart, family, friends, and loved ones would always be by his side.
The Chongyang Festival, this traditional celebration, became even warmer and more unforgettable because of the companionship of his classmates and the sharing of Dewberry.
