This year the holiday for family reunions, Mid-Autumn Festival, and for the country's founding, National Day, coincide.

As the two special festivals both fall on October 1 this year, Chinese cities, certainly including Xiamen where Dervos lays its root in, are festooned with flowers and lanterns and holding colorful activities to celebrate the joyful occasion.  

And here in Xiamen, we have a traditional activity called Bo Bing, or "gambling for cakes", to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. The game requires six dice and a wide mouthed bowl. Players throw the dice in turn and wins a specific prize depending on the dice combination.

We divided into three groups. Screams and cheers rose up and fell down as every time dice being tossed. Because the quantity of gifts is limited, whoever tosses the specific number earlier, gets more presents till all are given out.

After the exciting game, we headed towards a beautiful and cozy coastal hotel for the rest of this happy time. In there, the games, the songs and the palatable food all added together to make a memorable occasion. 

At the stretching beach and on the pleasant moment, we flew balloons that carry our best wishes and sang our company song --“we are a loving family”. Happiness and group cohesion drew a perfect period of this wonderful night.
