Great Regulars: Germany-based poet Xu Pei said that she

would be using this year's festival, in which images of the moon are used to evoke memories of far-off loved ones and times gone by, to remember jailed dissident author Huang Jinqiu, known online by his pen name Qing Shuijun.

"I hope that people will learn from his case," Xu said. "Fellow writers should take it as a warning not to retain any ideal image of the Communist Party."

"He thought that they didn't know he was Qing Shuijun," Xu said.
