On Friday 5th September evening, Stanley Ho East Asia College House Association organized a fantastic Mid-Autumn Festival carnival for the first time since the College’s relocation to the new campus.
Students were excitedly guessing the answers of the riddles.
同學們興奮地一起競猜謎語。
At around half past seven, many areas of the College appeared to be the same as usual but indeed in the College Refectory a crowd of students were very busy arranging the venue. A mysterious and challenging carnival was about to kick off.
At eight o’clock, the carnival officially began. At the Refectory, noises mixed with lively music, everyone was enjoying themselves. All the stalls were gradually being engulfed by the crowd. In particular, at the mooncake DIY booth, students were very eager to ask the helpers for advice on making mooncakes. Without serious effort, everyone succeeded in producing mooncakes with refined appearance by just using the molds to combine the black sesame and red bean into the crusts provided. Some people had the courage to taste their own mooncakes, while others left with their own works and were shaking their heads after getting the stamps.
Students not only made their own rabbits by kneading the paste of different colors, but also crafted their favorite cartoon characters!
同學們發揮創意捏玉兔，還捏出自己心愛的卡通人物！
At the other end of the venue stood another booth that also required a lot of handicraft skills. Not only this booth provided all the materials needed for kneading paste into bunny-shaped dolls, but the participants also made all different shapes of cartoon characters.
On the large wall of the Refectory, many different riddles were stuck to show the combination of the characters “SHEAC”, and had puzzled a lot of fellow students.
Outside the Refectory, in another more open but covered venue, despite no air conditioning, an endless stream of fellow students were playing other exciting games that tested their patience and responsiveness.
Of course, the lucky draw at the end of the carnival, especially the final draw by College Master Prof. Iu, made the climax of the whole event.
“Tonight, the moon rises from Stanley Ho East Asia College.”

「這個夜晚，月亮在何鴻燊東亞書院升起」─ 何鴻燊東亞書院中秋園遊夜
9月5日晚，何鴻燊東亞書院學生會的同學們第一次在嶄新的書院設施裏為大家舉辦一場別出心裁的中秋盛宴。
當晚七點半，秋風颯爽，書院的大門內燈火通明，表面上看似與平日無異，實則上在膳堂內有一大波同學正在緊湊地佈置着場地。一場神秘而又極具挑戰性的嘉年華正在逐漸拉開序幕。
Students were having a lot of fun together at the carnival.
同學們在嘉年華度過歡樂時光。
活動從八點正式開始。來到膳堂，人聲鼎沸加上曼妙的音樂，所有人樂此不疲地融進其中。每個不同的攤位都逐漸被人群吞沒，特別是在DIY製作月餅的攤位上擠滿了人，一個個都在向工作人員討教製作月餅的步驟，沒一會功夫，不少人僅憑藉餅皮、黑芝麻、紅豆沙以及製作外形的器具便製作出精製的小月餅，有的人鼓起勇氣品嘗自己的作品，有的人則印完蓋章之後無奈地搖着頭拿着作品離開。
在另一邊也是個巧手的遊戲攤位，名義上是捏玉兔，實際上大家不僅成功捏出一隻有模有样的玉兔，並且也捏出各種各樣的卡通模型。
膳堂的中間牆壁上貼着用不同謎語組成的「SHEAC」字樣，「不作死就不會死（打一帝王名字）」這樣獨特的字謎著實難道了不少同學。
Students were seriously competing at picking up the highest number of marbles within the specified time.
同學們認真地爭相在規定時間內夾得最多波珠。
走出膳堂，在另一個較為空曠但有蓋的活動場地，雖然沒有空調，但光臨此地的同學照樣是絡繹不絕。「夾波珠」這攤位被同學們圍得水洩不通，雖然考驗同學們的細心與耐心，但不少同學發現其中的訣竅，於是兩三下便能輕鬆完成任務要求。臨近的攤位「看這看那」是個挑戰反應速度的遊戲，但卻有不少同學以淡定的姿態不受工作人員干擾，輕鬆達到任務要求。
當然，最後的抽獎才是整個盛宴的高潮，伴隨着院長姚偉彬教授最後的「一錘定英」，無數的尖叫聲與呐喊聲交錯出最後的大獎得主。
「這個夜晚，月亮在何鴻燊東亞書院升起。」
