The Duanwu Festival—A celebration of patriotism
The Duanwu Festival is also called the Dragon Boat Festival. It is one of the most important traditional festivals in China. It falls on the lunar May fifth. People across China eat rice dumplings and hold dragon boat races to honour Qu Yuan, a great ancient patriotic poet.
The spirit behind the story of Qu Yuan and the spirit of the dragon boat races are closely related to patriotism. Qu Yuan's sacrifice for his country demonstrates the spirit of patriotism.
As teenagers, we should strive for the prosperity and strength of our motherland. We can do this by working hard and pursuing excellence in our studies. Additionally, by dedicating ourselves to protecting the earth, we can become better individuals and contribute to the well - being of our country.
