Ah, 'May we be blessed with longevity, though thousands of miles apart, we can enjoy the moon together!' Your husband knows you are on the moon, so on this day he'll definitely be looking for you with a telescope!

明月几时有，把酒问青天，不知天上宫阙，今夕是何年？…人有悲欢离合，月有阴晴圆缺，此事古难全。但愿人长久，千里共婵娟。”

míngyuè jǐ shí yǒu ，bǎ jiǔ wèn qīngtiān ，bùzhī tiānshàng gōngquè ，jīn xì shì hé nián ？…rén yǒu bēihuānlíhé ，yuè yǒu yīnqíngyuánquē ，cǐshì gǔ nán quán 。dànyuàn rén chángjiǔ ，qiān lǐ gòng chánjuān 。”

"When did the bright moon first appear? I hold a glass to the heavens to ask, what date can it be in the divine imperial palace? Human life is full of both joys and sorrows, just as the moon waxes and wanes, and makes it hard to get satisfaction. If only men could live longer on the earth, although a thousand miles apart, they could both enjoy the beautiful glimmer of the same moonlight."

人有悲欢离合，月有阴晴圆缺，此事古难全，但愿人长久，千里共婵娟”，我特別喜欢这句话。这让我豁然开朗，感觉一切都有希望。

"Human life is full of both joys and sorrowful partings, just as the moon waxes and wanes, and makes it hard to get satisfaction. If only men could live longer on the earth, although a thousand miles apart, they could both enjoy the beautiful glimmer of the same moonlight." I particularly like this line. This opened me up to the meaning and made me feel that everything has hope.
