Compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait celebrate the Lantern Festival in Wuhan by appreciating folk customs. On February 23, Shen Songbai explained to Taiwanese compatriots how to make lanterns.

Li Naiqing, a first-year student at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, shuttled back and forth under the lanterns hanging riddles. He also asked a calligrapher to write the word "乐" to pray for "joy and health" in the new year.
