30th September 2023 – (Hong Kong) Regina Ip Lau Suk-yee, the Chairperson of the New People’s Party, has been delighting her followers on social media with a series of beautiful photos capturing the spirit of the Mid-Autumn Festival. From moon gazing to lantern chasing, she has shared captivating images over the past three days. Today (30th), she posted a few photos, one of them titled “Chasing the Moon with Colourful Clouds to Celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival,” in which she is seen holding a small lantern while dressed in a peach-coloured qipao. The composition is complemented by an oil-paper umbrella, ink paintings, a folding screen, and peach blossoms, creating a poetic ambience.
In her post titled “Chasing the Moon with Colorful Clouds to Celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival,” Regina Ip Lau Suk-yee explains that “Colourful clouds chasing the moon” is a famous Cantonese music piece, with lyrics that symbolise celestial beings riding colourful clouds to the moon palace. The song portrays the mythical moon palace in people’s imagination and sets a relaxed and carefree atmosphere for ordinary citizens. She expresses that tonight is a night for moon chasing, and as this year’s Mid-Autumn Festival falls right after the National Day holiday, everyone has more time to celebrate with their families and enjoy a leisurely and joyful extended break.
