A record of wind power projects in Xinjiang during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

When the bright moonlight covers the Gobi Desert in Hami, Xinjiang, and thousands of lights light up the warm reunion, a row of white wind towers still dance with the wind at the site of the Hami wind power project in Xinjiang, and a group of employees on duty are spending this Mid-Autumn Festival in a different way.

At 7 a.m., before dawn broke, project safety officer He Wei and maintenance technicians Fei Fan and Chai Hongbin had already put on their protective gear to begin their daily inspection. "Even during the Mid-Autumn Festival, we must keep safety as our top priority. Not a single bolt or wire can be overlooked," he declared, holding his inspection recorder as he followed the winding Gobi road to check each wind turbine's operational status. The biting cold wind brushed against his face, yet it failed to distract him from his focus. Beneath Tower No.9, they discovered debris blown by strong winds. After over half an hour of emergency repairs, the potential hazard was successfully resolved. As the sun rose, beads of sweat formed on his forehead.

       At noon, while the Gobi Desert was bathed in intense sunlight, the project office cafeteria was filled with the warm aroma of Mid-Autumn Festival dishes. Sister Wang from the logistics team and her colleagues had started preparing the meals two days earlier, arranging mooncakes that symbolize family reunion on the tables. "Even though we can't go home, we want everyone to taste home-cooked comfort at work," Sister Wang said with a smile as she served rice to the workers. At the dining table, builders from all over China shared their hometown traditions, creating a unique holiday symphony where laughter and the wind blended together in the Gobi wilderness.

         As night fell, moonlight bathed the wind tower in silvery radiance. In the operations control room, young technician Wang Longjie kept his eyes glued to the data screens. "This is peak wind energy production time. Keeping the turbines running at full capacity is crucial for stable power supply," he explained, his fingers flying across the keyboard as he adjusted parameters in real-time. Outside, colleagues had set up phone flashlights spelling "Happy Mid-Autumn Festival" in the night sky. Wang's gaze reflected both homesickness and professional dedication—— The pulsating current data on the screen became their most heartfelt Mid-Autumn gift for millions of families.

       Under the moonlight, wind blades rotate slowly, as if narrating stories of perseverance. These builders of Xinjiang's wind power projects have made their posts their homes and their responsibilities their guiding lights. Across the northwest of China, through sweat and dedication, they brighten the lights of family reunions and clarify the blueprint for clean energy. This Mid-Autumn Festival, they missed their own family dinners but safeguarded the light and warmth for millions of households. Their figures stand as the most touching Mid-Autumn scenery on the Gobi Desert.
