Moon Cakes!
I found this on our table when I got home yesterday. It’s a moon cake and a short story about the Chinese Moon Festival. If I find the time, I might summarize the story for you because it is interesting. I remember when I was teaching, I got moon cakes enough to feed me until the next moon cake festival. They’re from parents of students and I was teaching 10 different classes with 60-70 students in each class… so imagine that!
This year, we only got one from our apartment management and I think it’s enough because to be honest, I have nobody to give to (just in case we cannot consume them all) here in Shanghai.
Mooncakes have an interesting role in encouraging the chinese to overthrow the mongolians. Research it.
