Moon Festival at the Esplanade
There are many lanterns down at the Esplanade, but last night we saw these 4 characters there as well:
From left to right: The woodcutter in the moon, who must cut down a cassia tree there, although it keeps regenerating branches; the irrascible archer, Hou Yi, who shot down the nine extra suns; his wife, Chang Er, who prevented Hou Yi’s becoming an immortal tyrant by drinking his elixir of immortality and floating up to the moon, where she still dwells; Sun WuKong, the Monkey King, an immortal who has nothing whatever to do with the moon but is a perennial favorite.
Note the stilts and the extremely cool colored LED fingernails!
I have no idea who the nice little family might be.
