The Mid-Autumn Festival reunites people and celebrates Chinese history, culture and tradition, said Chargé d’Affaires at the Chinese Embassy in Brunei Darussalam Wang Haitao during the Mid-Autumn Festival celebration at Teng Yun Temple last night. The festival saw a display of traditional lanterns, made by participants of a lantern-making competition divided into primary and secondary school categories.
Lanterns, Wang Haitao said, “symbolise hope, peace and success and family reunion”. The temple holds celebrations every year to promote “Chinese culture to the younger generation to enhance their understanding”.
The Chargé d’Affaires also participated in Chinese calligraphy writing with executives members of the temple. Legislative Council member Yang Berhormat Lau How Teck and the temple’s Chairman Lee Eng Ching and Deputy Chairman Tiah Eng Beng were present. – James Kon
