Mid-Autumn Festival

Moon Cakes, Mid-Autumn, and Losing My Chinese-ness

I have begun to understand why a lot of American-born Chinese people do not feel connected to their Chinese ethnicity. If their families are like mine - working a lot, with no time to practice their Chinese traditions at home - then the culture might not get passed on to the next generations. Besides, traditional festivals mean nothing to us if our parents are not able to celebrate them with us.
