In the midst of the Covid season, a young child receives a mooncake as a gift for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Though wearing a mask, the child’s sparkling eyes shine with genuine gratitude, conveying a heartfelt "thank you" for the meaningful gift. This simple yet profound moment captures the innocence and joy of childhood, even in the challenging times of a pandemic. It is a reminder that, despite the hardships we face, love and gratitude can still be shared in the most beautiful ways.
