Answer 1

【答案】Dear Jack,

Glad to hear from you and I would like to tell you something about the Dragon Boat Festival in China.

The Dragon Boat Festival, one of the most important traditional festivals in China, is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the Chinese Lunar Calendar. On that day Chinese people usually eat rice dumplings, which are made of rice, meat and so on, wrapped in bamboo leaves. And there are different kinds of delicious rice dumplings. The festival is also known for its dragon-boat races, especially in the southern places where there are many rivers and lakes, and people watch dragon-boat races to celebrate it. Chinese people celebrate the festival in honor of Qu Yuan, who was an honest minister and a great poet in ancient times. It is said that he committed suicide by drowning himself in a river.

I hope the information is helpful and welcome to China to take part in the activities in person.

Best wishes!

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua
