The successful and joyful Mid-Autumn Festival party lit up the night.  The mooncake, a feast of delectable dishes, and the talent show awaited us. The mooncakes are sweet, the dishes are toothsome, and the show entertained everyone. Every delicacy is full of the producer's love for everyone. Famous chefs are among us, making us want to be one. The wonderful performance are dazzling. As the saying goes: One minute on stage, ten years of work off stage. Thank you to the actors. They gave up their weekends in order to let everyone see the best show. They devoted themselves to practice to present the best. Everyone's efforts allowed us to have this successful gathering. Thank you CANWA and all our friends who always support us. Your participation makes our gathering more colorful. Let us look forward to our next gathering and look forward to a bright future.
