This year's Mid-Autumn Festival fell on 21 September, the third anniversary of the devastating 9-21 earthquake of 1999. Many high-ranking government officials spent the holiday in the reconstruction zone. Japan-based singer Judy Ongg also gave a performance at the Taichung sports stadium, to celebrate the festival with quake victims in central Taiwan.
今年中秋節適逢九二一地震三週年，政府高層紛紛前往重建區探視，在那裡過節；旅日藝人翁倩玉也在台中體育館舉辦演唱會，與中部地區受災民眾一起過中秋。
