Qingdao Municipal Government Overseas Chinese Affairs Office and the five departments of Overseas Chinese Affairs connected with Qingdao families from more than 10 countries on five continents, six representatives of overseas Chinese businessmen and leaders in Qingdao and nearly 1,000 Chinese teachers and students from Indonesian Chinese schools online.
They sent each other wishes, learned to make mooncakes together, passed on their love to the loved ones, and left the sweetness in their hearts.
Indonesian Chinese school teachers and students recorded a special holiday video for the event, and the Chinese teenagers sang and recited Tang poems. Representatives of teachers and students of Jilong Road Primary School were also invited as special guests. The students prepared a "little surprise" for their new friends overseas - a hand-drawn holiday greeting card.
A professional teacher was invited to explain the traditional culture of Mid-Autumn Festival to overseas Chinese compatriots, teachers and students, and to teach them how to make mooncakes. "This event was really meaningful, it promoted the traditional culture of our country, brought together the sentiments of Qingdao sons and daughters from all over the world, and taught us how to make mooncakes.
It was the most unforgettable mid-autumn festival fellowship event ever! Thanks for the warmth and affection from home!” said Wang Qinghua, Secretary General of Federation of Overseas Chinese in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
