- Mid-autumn festival celebration in Nairobi - Kenyan dance performance Moon gazing in Nairobi / Queenie Chow TranslatorHelen Ngan Moon festival. As a Chinese, you're thinking about traditional handmade lanterns, moon gazing in the evening, eating mother's delicious food and sharing moon cakes with family and friends. Mid-autumn festival for so many of us means this scene, and most importantly, being home with the people you love the most. But for many of us working as a foreigner in Africa, going home for a day of family celebrations just isn't quite an available option. There is a Chinese saying – "at home you depend on parents, outside you rely on friends". Whilst we don't have the opportunity to share a meal with family, our Hong Kong friends in Nairobi did organise a small home fiesta with moon cake, fresh fish (a rare delicacy in Kenya!) and many delicious dishes. Whilst there are a great working population from China in Kenya, very few originate from Hong Kong. In fact, only giving thanks to the all-powerful Facebook that we are able to make Hong Kong friends whom we would otherwise unlikely to meet in Nairobi.Majority of these people are generally employed in the development sector (the UN or large-scaled NGO's) or working for Christian mission organisation. The range include those focusing in educational and environmental developments, managing humanitarian projects to translating the bible into a local dialect in this region. Although we come from different walks of life, it is certainly "fateful coincidence" we are meet and share our traditional moon festival together. Although Kenyans don't celebrate the moon festival, there is certainly traditional moon legends. One of the most famous is the Masai fable of the sun and the moon. According to the Kenyan folk tale, the sun is shining so bright only because of its relationship with the moon. Once upon a time, the sun married the moon. However, they got into a fight and the moon was beaten by the sun in just the same way women are beaten by their husbands. Being shorttempered, the moon also struck the sun on the head. After their fight, the sun was so ashamed of his battered face that he decided to shine so brightly that people could not look at him without squinting. The moon on the other hand was not at the least ashamed and one could look closely at it to see the wounds that the sun inflicted on her during their fight. Perhaps you will see the moon, a strong woman in the Masai fable, in a different light this moon festival. Happy mid-autumn festival!
