2022-06-01 Download Print

On May 31, villagers competed in making zongzi (glutinous rice wrapped in bamboo leaves).

A zongzi-wrapping competition was held in Guitou Village, Meihua Town, Daoxian County to celebrate the upcoming Dragon Boat Festival, which falls on June 3. The handmade zongzi were sent to the elderly “empty nesters” who live without the assistance of their children and the left-behind children in the village. This activity aimed to improve the neighborhood relationship, carry forward the traditional festival culture, and enable residents to inherit the traditional Chinese virtues. (Photo/He Hongfu)
