With its light theme, the festival has been celebrated around the world, also in China.‎ However Chinese Zhongyuan Festival is still a serious thing and people are scared of ghosts when talking about them. There are some taboos during the festival which can avoid the spirits from hurting you, like no swimming and no walking outside late at night.‎ Pumpkin lantern & Water lantern During Halloween, people make pumpkin lights, which are made by hollowing the pumpkin, carving evil faces on the surface and put candles inside, used to drive out the spirits.[]‎ During Zhongyuan Festival, Chinese people also make river lanterns by pasting paper into a lotus shapes with a lamp or candle placed inside.

Different people, however, hold different opinions on this matter. Opinions are divided into two groups. According to some people, there are lots of reasons for the popularity of Wechat. ‎ First of all, it is easy to use. You can log in to it with your phone number and start a conversation by tapping the speak button. In addition, Wechat is a wonderful platform for people to share an ample amount of information. It even supports sending photos and videos. Meanwhile, using Wechat, you can also do group chats, or find new friends nearby to talk to, which helps make many friends and express your feelings and opinions more freely.  On the other hand, some people argue that although Wechat benefits us a lot, it has some drawbacks. When using WeChat, people tend to forget time and some may even get addicted to it, which will definitely affect their study and work. At the same time, spending too much time on the screen does affect eye health, which may cause trouble. Worse still, people may reveal their personal information while using it, which may lead to crimes. As far as I’m concerned, everyone is supposed to exploit Wechat within limits. As a student, I acknowledge that Wechat is not only beneficial but also dangerous. Therefore, I insist that we shouldn’t spend too much time on it. We should balance life’s competing interests--- in a student’s case, study, health and safety. And it’s of vital importance for us to ‎ protect ourselves when we use it.‎
