On the fifth day of the fifth month, the Dragon Boat Festival, my grandmother called me to visit. My aunt asked me to wrap zongzi, and my uncle asked me to weave a bamboo boat. The bamboo boat was great, and there were many zongzi. The zongzi floated on the boat across the river. What for? To save Grandpa Qu Yuan. In the big river, boats were linked together, and my grandfather took me to watch the dragon boat races. The dragon boats were long, and there were many of them. In the race, they moved like weaving through the water. He clapped his hands, you sang, and I shouted the slogans—it was so much fun.
