The bright moon sends longing from thousands of miles. When the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, the builders of the "the Belt and Road" adhering to Bangladesh, Hungary, Israel, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Myanmar and other countries are deeply homesick, enjoying the full moon, tasting moon cakes, holding interesting sports meetings with local employees... to share the beautiful meaning of the traditional Chinese reunion festival and welcome another Mid Autumn Festival. Playing cricket, football, tug of war... The Mid Autumn Festival Fun Sports Games held by the Sichuan Road and Bridge Bangladesh Dhaka Ring Expressway Project Department are lively and extraordinary. "On the streets of Bangladesh, teenagers playing cricket and football can be seen everywhere, and tug of war is a project with Chinese characteristics. We brought together Chinese and Bangladeshi employees to organize such an event that combines the characteristics of both countries, enhancing mutual feelings and cohesion. Everyone is very happy," said Xiao Zhiming, General Manager of Dhaka Ring Expressway Development Co., Ltd. China Construction Seventh Bureau South Asia Branch sent mooncakes and holiday greetings to its Chinese and Bangladeshi employees in three ongoing projects in Bangladesh. Chinese employees introduced the origin and meaning of the Mid-Autumn Festival to Bangladeshi employees, and they took group photos in front of the moon projection interactive device. Wang Ziheng, a project employee, said that the Mid-Autumn Festival has a strong sense of reunion. He is very happy to become an envoy of China Bangladesh friendship and spend the Mid Autumn Festival with local people on the "the Belt and Road" construction project. At the Shanghai branch of China Railway Xiongsai Railway Project, fun games such as "Draw and Guess", "Mid Autumn Festival Cultural Competition", and "Ring Throwing Darts" are currently underway. In order to spread traditional Chinese festival culture and promote the cultural integration of Chinese and Hungarian employees, the Shanghai Branch of China Railway Xiongnu Serbia Railway Project held a "Cross cultural and Welcoming Double Festivals" event, showcasing the spirit of cooperation and cultural diversity of multinational teams. In addition, the project department has prepared a sumptuous mooncake gift box for employees, perfectly blending Chinese mooncakes with unique Hungarian snacks, bringing an intoxicating culinary journey. Tan Xiaofeng, Deputy General Manager of China Electric Power Construction's Eurasian Regional Headquarters, said that on the occasion of the Mid Autumn Festival and National Day, Chinese employees of the Tel Aviv Light Rail Green Line project in Israel, although deeply longing for their motherland and their loved ones in their homeland, have a heavy mission on their shoulders. Only by sticking to the front line, working hard to overcome difficulties, and smoothly advancing the project can they not disappoint the expectations of their motherland and family. In order to welcome the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Nasiriyah International Airport Project in Iraq contracted by CSCEC held the Mid-Autumn Festival Hanfu cultural activity at the camp with the theme of "Vital Golden Autumn · China-Chic Wind". In addition to employees from both Iran and China in the project, local welfare institution children, media reporters, and others were also invited to participate in the event. The event introduced the origin and traditional customs of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Chinese chefs taught moon cake making on the spot, and the guests enthusiastically participated. The Hanfu classroom explains the characteristics and evolution of Hanfu, and the Hanfu walking show makes a grand appearance, showcasing beautiful manners and shapes, presenting a visual feast of "crossing time and space". Samir, an Iraqi employee of CSCEC, told reporters that this was his first time to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. It was a very interesting experience for him to learn about the culture of Hanfu, wear Hanfu and learn Chinese traditional etiquette. He hopes to participate in more traditional Chinese cultural activities in the future. At the construction site of the Jeddah Airport Maintenance Hangar Project, undertaken by China Railway 18th Bureau Group (Saudi Arabia) Co., Ltd., located in Jeddah City, Mecca Province, western Saudi Arabia, builders braved high temperatures and stood firm on the front line. He Jianglong, a young Tujia man from Guizhou, immediately joined the construction line in Saudi Arabia in August, learning techniques and skills from his colleagues. "Although I feel a bit uncomfortable and homesick now, I can overcome it. I cherish this rare overseas job opportunity and can learn many things that cannot be learned domestically," he said. "When you want to have children, give them a video call to see if they are well behaved and if they have grown taller." The builders expressed their longing for their hometown and loved ones in their words, while their backs as they turned towards the construction site showed determination. The 2023 Cross border Mid Autumn Festival Cultural Festival will be held at the starting point of the China Myanmar Oil and Gas Pipeline Project in Mad Island, Rakhine State.

At the gathering, the cultural and artistic programs with a strong Chinese flavor conveyed the concerns of Chinese employees who have been working overseas for a long time to their motherland, sent blessings to the local people, and showcased the achievements of the China Myanmar oil and gas pipeline project.
