Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival.
In China, at this time every year, people buy and eat mooncakes and reunite with their families.
Recently, special mooncakes launched by many universities in Beijing have become popular online, and in some cases they are even hard to get.
Among them, mooncakes from Peking University and Tsinghua University are especially popular.
Not only teachers and students at the schools rush to buy them, but many alumni who have already graduated, and even people outside the schools, try to find someone to buy them on their behalf through social media.
Why are these university mooncakes so attractive?
First, their designs are very distinctive.
The mooncakes are stamped with the university’s emblem, landmark buildings, or motto.
In addition, many mooncake boxes include special small gifts, such as postcards and bookmarks.
Second, they come in a variety of flavors and are healthier.
Today’s university mooncakes not only keep classic traditional flavors such as egg yolk, but also add new flavors popular with young people, such as matcha and chocolate.
For everyone’s health, many mooncakes are also specially made with low-sugar, low-oil recipes.
Education experts say that university mooncakes are popular not only because they taste good, but also because they represent a kind of campus culture.
For students and alumni, eating one of these mooncakes can remind them of their wonderful university life; for others, it is also a way to express their admiration for famous universities.
