As the full moon rises tonight, families across Asia look up at the same glowing circle that has inspired poets, dreamers, and storytellers for centuries. The Mid-Autumn Festival (中秋节) dates back more than 3,000 years, celebrating reunion, gratitude, and the harvest season.
Legend tells of Chang’e, the Moon Goddess, who ascended to the heavens after drinking an elixir of immortality, leaving her beloved Hou Yi behind on Earth. Every year, people gaze at the moon and share mooncakes in remembrance of her, a timeless symbol of love, longing, and togetherness.
For my partners and investors, perhaps there is a quiet lesson here. Like the moon’s cycles, markets have their own rhythms, sometimes bright, sometimes shadowed, yet always returning to fullness in time.
Wishing everyone harmony, clarity, and a few guilt-free bites of mooncake (oh, no need to check the calories tonight).
Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!
