Ten foreigners who live and work in Yueqing, a county-level city of Wenzhou, East China's Zhejiang province, recently attended a poetry assembly to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, local media outlets reported.
Njava, a Madagascan teacher who has been living in Yueqing for three years, attended the activity with her husband and three-year-old daughter Kasia. The little girl, wearing hanfu and buyao, a traditional Chinese costume and hair accessory, enjoyed tea, listened to folk music, ate mooncakes with her parents, and laughed from time to time.
Njava said that teachers at her school had introduced her to the customs of Mid-Autumn Festival, so she prepared clothes for her daughter and invited her family to participate in the celebration.
