SHUMAN ZHANG, a senior at Brunswick High School, holds the audience spellbound with her recent performance on the guzheng, a traditional Chinese instrument. Zhang performed in Portland at a gathering of the Chinese-American Friendship Association (CAFAM) which celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival, often referred to as the Moon Festival. The Moon Festival is an important holiday in Chinese culture at which times families gather and if separated from their loved ones look at the full moon and think of them. The traditional food eaten at the holiday is mooncake. More than 100 people attended, all with an interest in China — Chinese- Americans, exchange teachers and students from China, families with children adopted from China and people who have worked or studied in China.
