As a child who grew up in the countryside, I don't have a good impression of. My childhood was in the 1970s, when the Caucasian countryside was very poor. We didn't even have enough food.
But I think my childhood was still happy, and we could all play carefree before going to elementary school at the age of eight. In the summer, we would catch cicadas under the trees, and camp on the threshing ground. In the autumn, we would go to the fields to watch adults catch hares. In the spring, we would dig wild vegetables in fields. In the winter, we would make snowmen and have snowball fights.
Recently, the epidemic situation in China had been on the rise again, and the most serious of which was Yangzhou. The number of infections there has been as high as over 500. But our city hasn't had a single case of infection so far, so it's really safe now. Moreover, we have almost achieved full vaccination. So our lives are almost the same as usual now.
This epidemic has brought huge economic losses to people all over the world, and we still don't know when it will end. Maybe it will coexist with human beings for a long time like the cold, and we should be prepared for it.
Now, we celebrate the mid-autumn festival, and the main tradition is buying some gifts for the elders. Of course, the mooncake is necessary, and then the families eat dinner together. That is basically the case, at least in my opinion. For some young people, maybe, they will take advantage of the holiday and go out haveing some fun.
This afternoon when I got off work, I saw many fallen yellow flowers on the streets, and they were very beautiful. I looked up and found that rows of locust trees were blooming with little yellow flowers. So I recorded a short video for you to enjoy.

月饼一点都不好吃，太甜太腻，我觉得还不如面包好吃。但它已经成为了中秋佳节的一种象征，如果没有它，就好像不算中秋一样。
谢谢你对我的修改，我非常感激。同时也祝你中秋愉快，合家欢乐！

"Having occurred" would probably be a better pair of words to use. "Having been" is the past participle form of "to be". In this case I am just saying "the most serious rise was in Hangzhou", but instead of "was" we use "having been" because earlier we say "have" instead of "had". The reason I changed "had" to "have" is because you said "recently", which implies that the covid cases are still rising. 如果你感冒了, you might say "I have been sick these past few days, the worst day having been Monday."

Thank you very much. Having been communicating with you, I have made great progress. Is that okay?

Almost! I would probably switch the order of the clauses: "I have made great progress, having been communicating with you."

Thank you very much.

My childhood wasI was a child in the 1970s, when the Caucasian countryside was very poor.
"Caucasian" = white/European person. If the countryside is in the Caucasus mountains in Georgia, I would write "I was a child in the 1970s, when the countryside in the Caucasus region was very poor."
We didn't even have enough food.
But I think my childhood was still happy, and we could all play carefree before going to elementary school at the age of eight.

Either
"The number of infections there has been as high as 500." or
"The number of infections there has been over 500."

Moreover, we have almost achieved full vaccination.
