Mid Autumn Festival 2012
中秋節快樂
中秋節快樂
農曆八月十五，今年是9月30日, 中秋節。這是人們一直都喻為最有人情味、最浪曼最詩情畫意的一個節日。每逢佳節倍思親。中秋節這一份思念當然會深切，唐代大詩人李白的這首《靜夜思》

這是寫遠客思鄉之情的詩已經流傅了千百年，月亮沒變仍然圓又亮，離鄉背井的人比比皆是，但是思郷的方式可以之大大的改進了，李白的詩的最後一句是否也應該應時而改了？

About the above cartoon:
September 30, 2012 is Lunar August 15 and the start of the Mid-Autumn Festival, a tradition which has been observed and celebrated for hundreds of years by Chinese in Taiwan, China and abroad.
Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai's (701—762 AD) famous poem "Quiet Night" illustrated homesickness for many were intensified during this festival, in 20 Chinese characters, he wrote:
Before my bed there streams in the moonlight. It lies there on the ground, looking like frost.
Lifting my head, I gaze at the moon bright; looking down in homesickness and think of home.
(trans. Wang Yushu/Google)
I downloaded the above translation and edited through Google Translate, I am sure there are many ways they can be translated and written more eloquently. I am not a poet, writer or deep thinker and I only try to translate words, often with the helps of Google Translate so please be kind with me if you think I am being silly attempting to interpret Li Bai's poem, your feedback and advices are always welcome.
In old days, being away from home were extremely hard for immigrants and travelers, especially during holidays such as Mid Autumn Festival when family members get together while the lonely travelers can only be with families in their memory. In recent years with easy access to telephones, trains, jets, etc., reuniting and keeping in touch with love ones have become easier although at times they can be complicated and costly. Now with rapid advancements in Internet and now Social Networking, people are able to meet others face to face in virtual world and in real time. Therefore, I think that the last sentence of Li Bai's poem should be modified in order to adapt the current theme:
