“We have quite a collection of these costumes. I often persuade my parents to take us to Chinese-themed events,” she said. The Mid-Autumn Festival, also known as the Mooncake or Lantern Festival, falls on Sept 29, which is the 15th day of the eighth month in the lunar calendar. To save her people from her husband’s tyrannical rule, she drank the elixir of immortality he had intended to drink himself, and ascended to the moon.
