This year’s Mid-Autumn Festival takes place in the context of the country still adopting drastic measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, especially in Ho Chi Minh City, the largest hotspot. There are no activities in the city to celebrate the festival as usual, but many children here still have joy when they received lanterns made by soldiers.
