when china was in great danger
our country's enemies were everywhere
what have you gotten there
i'm taking some moon cakes to my father
so he can celebrate the moon festival
moon cakes what are moon cakes
they're just little pastries with lotus
seeds inside

[Music]
the girl's father was a chinese general
who had been taken c*ptive
[Music]
here is your moon cake bubba
hidden inside the general's moon cake
was a very important secret message that
would help him defeat
china's enemies and that's why we have
moon cakes at the moon festival
[Music]
it's fun to sit and talk together like
this isn't it
where are you off to in such a hurry i
just remembered i have to practice my
tai chi
for the martial arts demonstration okay
who's next
uh you told us yesterday we could go out
to play before lunch
[Music]
there they go again
[Music]
why can't we get started with the family
portrait
because the whole family isn't here come
out come out wherever you are
and i'm not going to have my portrait
painted without my precious little
darlings
quite right our three daughters are
visions of luminous loveliness
no i mean my precious darling little
sleeve dogs
and our beautiful daughters of course
but
they're not here either i can see that
it is so important to have family
activities that we can
all enjoy together don't you think
yes i do my cherished lychee only i
seem to be the only member of the family
who's taking it seriously
yes what is it your magistrate we need a
proclamation written for the moon
[Music]

to let food go to waste
[Music]
children it's way past lunchtime where
have you been
[Music]
i've been waiting for you
[Music]
but if you are hungry mama why didn't
you eat something
because this isn't about being hungry
sheikwa
it's about being a family and lately it
feels like everyone is so busy with
their own interests that we don't have
any time to be a family
and tell each other about how our day is
going
mama come along and mama the magistrate
needs you to write a poster about the
moon festival
the moon festival oh no i forgot all
about it
i have to get the ingredients for the
moon cakes hmm
moon cakes that's it
what's it remember the story about the
mooncakes
and the secret message don't you think
mama would love to get a message from us
what is keeping those girls i thought
they were right behind me
hit that gong give it a good whack
that should get their attention
how are the preparations coming along
for the moon festival
is it really too much to ask for this
family to do
something together on time and without
all this squabbling
oh have we kept you waiting
here's my plan mama's upset because we
don't do enough together right
well it's time for the moon festival so
let's all put a special
message from mama inside a moon cake
[Music]
you look funny huangdo you know you
really ought to use a mirror when you
put on your makeup
[Laughter]
i look funny well you look like you
swallow a sour plum
[Music]

mustache ah yeah you'll get into
terrible trouble look though
just kidding
[Music]
oh you want me to put this in a moon
cake do you
wow
[Music]
[Applause]
have you ever wondered what you'd look
like with a mustache bubba
no why i think a mustache might look
rather distinguished on you
then i'll think about it my delicious
moon cake

brand new family portrait painted
it's so lovely yeah the moon is
really bright tonight no not just the
moon

ancestor sun
yinsu the poet this is incredible
i have heard his name before but i have
never seen any of his poetry scrolls
most of these scrolls were burned in a
fire many many years ago

and hid them away for safe keeping

archaeologist who's working in the
mountains

long-lost treasure will be home where it
belongs
