    "For me, the atmosphere of the Mid-Autumn Festival is not as strong as before. When I was young, I looked forward to eating mooncakes and watching the moon with my family," said Ma Lin, a woman in her fifties."But now, the festival just seems like a common Saturday or Sunday. "

    Yang Lin,a professor from Nankai University, says the way people celebrate the festival has changed over the years."In the past, it was terrible if you could not see your family during the Mid-Autumn Festival.Nowadays,people may just make phone calls to their families,but they still know that the Mid-Autumn Festival is a day for families to get together.They can go home at any time if they want to,because transportation is more convenient."
