The Dragon Boat Festival

This week has a big festival. It is the Dragon Boat Festival. This festival is in memory of a poet, Qu Yuan. He is very patriotic, but he does not get appreciate. He feels sad and jumps into the river to end his life. Many people row a boat and try to find him. However, no one find him. They do not want his corpse be eaten by fish, so they throw a lot pyramid-shaped mass of glutinous rice wrapped in leaves. Now we order to remember him, we row the dragon boat and eat pyramid-shaped mass of glutinous rice wrapped in leaves every year. Maybe one day I will join the race of the dragon boat.
