“In conjunction with the meaningful festival, we have designed a special lantern and will give it away for free,” according to the statement in Mandarin posted on the Facebook page today.

Each follower who ‘Like’ the idea would be given two lanterns and all they need to do was to leave their name, home address and email address on the page.
