to celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival just by appreciating the moon and eating mooncakes, said Wang Fangfang, a fan of "script murder game" ；还有 a role-playing murder mystery activity popular among Chinese youth.

The Tianjin Normal University student intended to call on her friends to play a joyous "script murder game" because she hopes to spend a happy festival on the day of family reunion. She believes the game can gather people together in a cheerful way.

Xie Mengli, a student from the Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology, has planned to design a unique style of mooncake.

Gen-Z is a group with their own personality, so the mooncakes they eat should showcase their personality, Xie said.

Like Xie, many Chinese youths have created self-made mooncakes, with special shapes including various fruit and cartoon animals, and challenging mooncakes with different flavors and stuffing like Luosifen, and crayfish.

Some Chinese youth choose to showcase the new trend by dressing in unique costumes.

"For me, the best way to celebrate the festival is wearing costumes with Mid-autumn festival elements on them," said Yu Mengshu, a fan of the traditional Chinese garment hanfu. She plans to hold a hanfu garden party with like-minded fans. Her carefully prepared hanfu is embroidered with rabbits and cassia branches.
