"May we all be blessed with longevity; though miles apart, we are still able to share the beauty of the moon."（“但愿人长久，千里共婵娟”） On this lovely festival night with the bright moon hanging high, Chuan-X Panda wishes all lovers a happy union, and every family togetherness, joy, health and peace.

Today marks the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, China’s Mid-Autumn Festival. On this day, Chinese people gather to savour the joy of family. It is also a traditional festival for people to send forth longing and express affection. Across the passage of time and the Eastern and Western hemispheres, humanity’s romantic wisdom resonates deeply, nourishing our hearts and souls.

Tonight, countless Chinese people enjoy mooncakes. Whether surrounded by loved ones or staying at home alone, they gaze up at the full moon overhead, sending thoughts to beloved partners, family and friends, and also blessing themselves. Such is romance: love others, and love yourself.

LOVE YOUR PARTNER
A Full Moon Brings Family Reunion.
On this night of the full moon, to be reunited with your beloved beside you is true bliss in life（“月圆人团圆”）. Romance lies not in flowery words, but in hiding longing within moonlight. A paper lantern, a full moon, a jade rabbit — all were messengers of longing for ancient Chinese people. That is why the giant panda plush toy has been one of the bestsellers in the Chuan-X Panda store. Many customers buy it as a gift for their loved ones, hoping this panda companion stays by their side and carries their longing. As an old saying goes, fate is preordained by heaven. Yet even fated love takes effort. To express your affection and give sincerely to your beloved is an essential lesson in love.

LOVE YOUR FAMILY
The Moon Shines Brightest Over My Hometown.
The moon in the sky is the same everywhere. It only appears brightest over hometown because our hearts hold our homeland and kin（“月是故乡明”）. Even if you are far away tonight, looking up at the same moon your family sees creates a bond, a tender connection between you. Under the glow of moonlight, Chuan-X Panda brings our Chinese zodiac plush — the grey rabbit plush and sweet panda plush — to bring smiles to your family.

LOVE YOURSELF
I Raise My Cup To Invite The Moon; My Shadow And I Make Three.
If you spend this night alone, you may still invite the moon and your shadow to be your companions, turning the cool moonlight into a bosom friend（“举杯邀明月，对影成三人”）. Even drinking by yourself, you are no longer lonely with the moon and shadow as company. We possess a rich inner world. To know and cherish yourself is lifelong romance. On life’s solitary journey, our panda charms, red panda plush for bag charm and zodiac plush keychains can hold your inner sentiments, small yet precious joys of life.

So send your romantic confession to those you love — "The moon is beautiful tonight!" For it is not only the moon that is beautiful, but also you.
