A Moon, a Barbecue, and Confucius 🌕👨‍🏫有月亮、有烤肉，還有一位不能缺席的「孔夫子」

The Mid-Autumn Festival is almost here! And quietly, a corner of the Hsinmin campus has turned into a scene bursting with holiday flavor. 🌕

A big bright moon hangs with the words 「中秋節快樂」. On the table sits a feast of barbecue — steak, shrimp, sausages, beef skewers — and ice-cold soda. Just looking at it, you can almost smell the grill! 😋

But look closely — there's an important guest hiding in this scene: Confucius! 👨‍🏫 Because this year's Mid-Autumn holiday happens to fall together with Teachers' Day. So besides admiring the moon, gathering with family, and eating mooncakes, let's not forget this special day either — and say to the teachers who walk beside our children every day: Thank you, teacher! ❤️

Special thanks to volunteer mom Huang Yi-tzu and teacher Chen Chiu-yen for this creative Mid-Autumn corner — for their ideas and their handiwork. From the moon, the barbecue, and the drinks, to the adorable moon rabbit pounding its medicine, every small detail carries a lot of heart.

And Confucius, seated calmly among it all, seems to remind us: Mid-Autumn is a festival of reunion; Teachers' Day is a day of gratitude. And education is a group of people, carrying love, growing up alongside the children.

Wishing everyone at Hsinmin, big and small, a very happy Mid-Autumn Festival — and to all our teachers, a happy Teachers' Day!
