Being a lonely stranger in a strange land, I miss my family more on very festival day. Today is the annual Mid-Autumn Festival, Shandong Sanxiang Heavy machinery did not forget the children in foreign countries, the day just after dawn, on behalf of the company's blessing information sent through wechat.
The office staff wrote back to say that they were not alone in Indonesia at all, and that they had been invited to decide to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with the local Chinese diaspora. The office is located in Surabaya City, in Indonesia's status equivalent to China's Shanghai, is the economic center of Indonesia, therefore, the local Chinese living relatively concentrated Chinatown, and there are many Chinese economic organizations, similar to Zhejiang enterprises in the chamber of commerce across the country. How to say, Chinese people will not be too lonely wherever they go, Chinese children are everywhere. In foreign countries, you can feel their enthusiasm at all times, and this kind of brotherly love is thicker than water in a foreign country makes people feel particularly intimate.
Mid-Autumn Festival is a very solemn festival in China, and in Surabaya's Chinatown, it is also quite solemn. At dawn, many overseas Chinese gathered together and bowed to the north, led by those with high morals and high expectations, and then kowtowed three times to express their nostalgia for distant ancestors and relatives. Shandong Sanxiang Heavy machinery office staff saw the local Chinese overseas Chinese together for the first time to organize such a large collective activity, did not expect that many of them have lived in Indonesia for many years, and even participated in the activities of many people are Chinese second generation, Chinese third generation, but they have always had deep feelings for the motherland, one point can be well proved that they speak Chinese very well. In the local area, they spontaneously set up Chinese language classes.
On this day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is said that the early morning is a grand ancestor worship ceremony, around noon is to hold a hundred banquet, the most lively in the evening, fireworks, dragon dance and other traditional Chinese national festival entertainment items here you can basically see. Perhaps you play, forget that this is in a foreign country, because this is the same as the domestic festival celebration, even more grand. The Mid-Autumn Festival, the world's overseas Chinese must be the same as Indonesia, through them, so that the world is full of thick Chinese feelings, which also reflects the confidence of Chinese culture, after experiencing a brief setback, is now more and more confident into the center of the world stage.
