This is the 4th Friendly Greeting from Shirley via a mail group from China.

Today is one of the most important Chinese traditional festival -- The mid-autumn festival. This is a day that all of a family sit together to enjoy the bright moon while to eat the moon cakes and most of the companies give their employees some money for an extra holiday fee. People like to send the moon cakes each other to express to celebrate and the good wishes. ? The moon cake is round, that signs our lives will be also very harmonious, perfectly satisfactory and happy. Anyway, as a migration city, most of people in our city can not go back our parents' homes for it isn't a national holiday. So, most of us send some messages via the mobile phones or make a telephone to our family members or friends or leaders in the special time to show our friendly greetings.
On the Chinese mid-autumn festival, I do hope all of the friends lucky, happy and harmonious under that same moon. I do wish our friendship is forever as the moon forever.
I am just a learner on all of the work. Very often, I am not sure what words I should write in English, what color I should use on my picture and how to deal with a breath in a song. However, I really hope to do a little bit things for helping you to know something more about orient cultures and improve your Chinese level while to improve myself.

I really hope to get your help, support, and directions on matter on English language or cultures and skills as well.
If you have any questions, requests, advice, comments, suggestions, please write to shirley@ebridge.cn or shirleyz004@yahoo.com. You are welcomed.
