The children’s eyes were glued to the stage with magic shows and lion and dragon dances. Not only the sick children but also their relatives had rare smiles during their days of treatment at the hospital.

Vo Minh Nam (6 years old), despite his hand being bandaged after a burn accident, still enthusiastically cheered along to every beat of music. Minh Hong, Nam's mother, shared: "When the nurses announced that the hospital had a Mid-Autumn Festival activity, he was excited all day. Because of waiting for the surgery schedule, the mother and son could not return home in time to be with their family on this occasion."

The early Mid-Autumn Festival program has practical meaning, encouraging and sharing joy with children undergoing treatment. Bao Han excitedly said: "I am very happy to have a jade rabbit lantern, moon cakes and lots of toys."
