Jade was a 16-year-old Chinese girl who had lived in the US since she was a toddler. Her
parents had always insisted on celebrating traditional Chinese festivals, no matter how busy their lives were. But Jade had never really understood why. To her, these festivals meant boring preparations, strange-tasting food, and missing out on fun plans with her American friends.
Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching. Early that morning, Jade's mom was up at dawn, bustling around the kitchen. The scent of osmanthus cake and braised pork filled the house. On the dining table, there were mooncakes of different flavors. Jade frowned as she glanced at the spread. She had already made plans to have fun with her friends.
"Mom, I can't stay for the Mid-Autumn celebration,
*Jade said, slinging her backpack over
her shoulder. "My friends are waiti
ng för me."
Her mom wiped her hands on her apron and sat down beside Jade. Instead of scolding her, Mom took out an old photo album from the cabinet. Inside were pictures of her and Dad when they first moved to the US-young, smiling, standing in front of a small apartment with a mooncake in their hands.
"This festival isn't just about mooncakes and lanterns," Mom said, her voice gentle. "When 1 was a little girl in Guangzhou, every Mid-Autumn, my family would gather on the rooftop.
We'd eat mooncakes, drink chrysanthemum tea, and stare at the full moon. Back then, I thought it was just a fun night. But when I moved here, far away from my parents, the moon became a link to my hometown. No matter where we are, the same moon shines over us and our family in China. Celebrating this festival is our way of keeping that connection alive."
Mom closed the photo album and patted Jade's hand. "You don't have to stay if you don't want to, Go have fun with your friends."Jade stared at her mom's face, seeing the faint glimmer of homesickness in her eyes.

Jade hesitated for a moment, and then dropped off her backpack.
As the moon rose high in the sky, the family sat together on the balcony.
