China News Service, Beijing, September 28 (Reporter Xia Bin) As the Mid-Autumn Festival of 2020 is approaching, China News Service and Tencent jointly launched the WeChat mini-program "Cloud Gathering Mid-Autumn Festival" on September 28, which will be available to Chinese students and overseas students. The overseas Chinese and overseas Chinese in the world have sent an invitation: Mid-Autumn Festival, let us meet on the cloud, and send blessings to relatives, family and friends.

  Since the beginning of 2020, the sudden outbreak of new crown pneumonia has made the word "peace" particularly precious; it has also made the word "reunion" even more difficult.

  Wang Xiaohui, editor-in-chief of China News Agency, said at the press conference that a full moon and a full circle are the eternal theme of the Chinese.

On the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival, we look forward to gathering together and looking forward to reunion; looking forward to the bright moon on the sea, and the world at this time; and also wishing every family reunion, harmony and beauty.

Today, we are living in a new era of development and progress, and the distance between people is no longer calculated in kilometers.

We invite overseas Chinese and overseas students from all over the world to gather on the clouds during the Mid-Autumn Festival to send blessings to relatives, family and friends.

Representatives of the main creative team of Tencent's "Cloud Convergence Mid-Autumn Festival" project introduced the mini program gameplay.
