The lantern began to rotate slowly, casting mysterious shadows and lights on the villagers' faces.
美玲在人群中,目光也是紧紧追随着李伟的灯笼。
Meiling was in the crowd, her eyes closely following Li Wei's lantern.
虽然李伟没有赢得比赛,但她走近李伟,对他的创意和勇气给予了由衷的称赞。
Although Li Wei did not win the contest, she approached him and sincerely praised his creativity and courage.
