  On September 25th, a full moon rises over a country

• 00:14

  where some people are heading home,

• 00:16

  some are heading somewhere new

• 00:18

  and some are just heading to the airport.

• 00:20

  Same festival, same moon,

• 00:22

  but very different nights.

• 00:23

  So, what actually makes a mid-autumn celebration feel special

• 00:27

  when tradition meets a life that doesn't always sit still?

• 00:40

  Yes, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival falls on the 25th day of September.

• 00:46

  It's it's different every year,

• 00:47

  but it's the 25th uh this time around

• 00:50

  and for many people in China, that means family gatherings,

• 00:54

  it means full moon gazing in a maybe existential

• 00:59

  or poetically romantic kind of way.

• 01:01

  It also means mooncakes.

• 01:03

  Mhm.

• 01:04

  I'm going to ask you in a moment about your favorite mooncakes,

• 01:06

  so prepare your answers now, please.
