# week 2- KongMing Lantern

On December 1st, I went to a light festival located in Imperial. The festival aims to gather people together and put the fair into a paper house lighting which are called Kongming Lantern, and let them fly to the sky at the same time. Since I was invited by my friend, I didn't know about the detail before we arrived. The event located in a desert, and there had a lot of torches built above 10 meter between each other, which not only used for lighting, but also lighting the lanterns later. People wrote their wishes on the Lantern paper, and when the lantern fly to the sky, the god would received your sounds, which help you to make it true. It's about eight o'clock at night, the host guided people to use the fire to light the lantern, and flied them at the same time. I found that the Lantern is not that easy to make it fly due to the strong wind at night and the fire inside the Lantern. However, when the people's Lanterns flied to the sky at the same time, the sky was so bright and it was really beautiful. it made me really feel that I am in the dream and felt that dreams will come true. With the background music, I felt so touchable and i was really missing my family and friends at that time. It really made me feel the powerful of the fire. It is unforgettable.
