can understand that the Dragon Boat Festival is happy and healthy.

Subsequently, under the guidance of the hostess, the international students learned to make rice dumplings, roll up rice dumpling leaves, fillings, and tie ropes and laughed at the scene. Everyone wraps their yearning for a 

better life and their thought about their families into rice dumplings.
