Although I have been a stranger in a foreign land for a long time, far away from my parents and villagers, I still have acquaintances and relatives in a foreign land. In this Mid-Autumn Festival reunion season, this year, we will no longer be "planting dogwood everywhere but one person is missing". This year, we, the descendants of the Yellow Emperor and the Dragon from all over the world, will raise glasses and cups, communicate and share, and share the reunion banquet in the warm and friendly atmosphere of home. The moon in the sky is reunited, and the people on the earth are reunited. The Sino-US Cultural Forum, National Day Reception, and National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival Dance are free and open to the public. All are welcome to participate. Organizations and enthusiastic people from all walks of life are welcome to register for the "Mid-Autumn Festival Dinner" as early as possible and reserve limited seats.
