“May we all be blessed with longevity. Though miles apart, we are still able to share the beauty of the moon together(但愿人长久,千里共婵娟) wrote Su Shi, a writer during the Song Dynasty, in his famous poem (诗歌) to his younger brother Su Zhe.

The moon is large and full on the 15 th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar(阴历). ①人们在这一天庆祝中秋节。People from across the world know it.

Long long ago, that day was a harvest(丰收) festival because people harvested crops (庄稼) during that time in China. ② It was a time to relax and enjoy different kinds of delicious foods.

Just like Thanksgiving in America, ③ almost every family try to get together for the Mid-Autumn Festival in China. Usually, no matter how far away or how busy you are, people will come back home for the celebration.

The Mid- Autumn Festival also has its own special food. People eat moon cakes with fillings such as sugar and eggs, 月饼看起来像满月。 The full moon and moon cakes mean family getting together.

With the beautiful moon up in the sky, people sit together, enjoy the full moon, eat moon cakes and fruit, and share the stories. ⑤ At the same time, they show the best wishes for people who they love.

Did you forget your password (密码) or your ID? Well, you’ll never forget your face. Using your face as your ID is quick and convenient. You could take the subway or get on the plane with just your face alone. This is how facial recognition (人脸识别) works. It has also been used to catch criminals. The American pop singer Taylor Swift even used the technology to find out the person who did something bad to her at her concerts.

In China, facial recognition systems(系统) have been used in many areas. In Zhengzhou, people can now get on the subway by using facial recognition technology. They just need to connect their online payment systems to the subway’s smartphone app. Students at certain schools can pass through the school’s gates by scanning (扫描) their face.

However, there are no laws to control the use and collection of facial information now, according to Zhao Zhanling, a researcher at the China University of Political Science and Law. Many people are worried about the collection and use of the information by governments and companies. Why is it necessary to collect data about your face and what will the data (数据) be used for? These are some common questions about the facial recognition.

“I feel uncomfortable because I don’t know how the company is using my facial information or whether it will be leaked. If so, my secret information will become known to the public.” Feng Yi, a tourism company worker, said about Zhengzhou’s subway smartphone app. Leaks are a problem that worries people because companies have always failed to protect users’ data. When someone steals your personal information, you can change your bank card and password, but can you change your face when your facial information is stolen?

As facial recognition is used more and more in our daily lives - from schools and subways to street comers and smartphones - we must ask ourselves whether or not this new technology is worth the risk.
