Today is the "Eleventh" Golden Week holiday and the annual dragon boat race in Xiqiao Town. More than 200 people from Hong Kong, Macao and Vietnam came to watch the dragon boat race. There are leaders from all over the country; There are some local private entrepreneurs; People came from all directions to help. This afternoon, I also went to Guanshanyong to watch the Wenwen Five Dragons Competition.
The Wenwen Wulong competition started at noon 12. /kloc-before 0/2 o'clock, the banks of Guanshanyong were already crowded with dense crowds, some families were eating lunch boxes on the shore, and other competitions began. Look at the mountains and rivers surging, colorful flags fluttering and banners hanging high. At noon 12: 00, all the contestants who signed up for the five-person dragon arrived at the Shahe section of Nanzhuang. They dressed neatly and got off the boat to prepare for the game. After a while, a gunshot 1 12 rushed to the official. I saw some of them crowded into the river; Some people beat us to it ... at this time, the people watching on the shore couldn't help rowing dragon boats. In a flash, there were only a few people left on the originally crowded shore.
At 6: 438 pm, the gunfire continued. It turned out that the ship was heading for Wenqiang Bridge. Soon, as expected, the 1 12 dragon boats selected in the preliminary round came one after another. The weather in late autumn is a little cold, and the water is even colder. The dragon hand who participated in the competition was not afraid. Amid cheers and gunfire, they braved the wind and waves, pursued hard and strived to win the championship. Look! They rowed neatly, always lifting the oars together, putting them down together, and even lifting them to the same height. The audience on the shore craned their necks to watch the wonderful game and shouted, "Come on, come on." The little dragon boat went straight ahead like an arrow leaving the string, splashing many small waves. After an hour or so, all the athletes are still working together in Qi Xin to forge ahead bravely. They are all big men, but they still grit their teeth and chase each other.
Around three o'clock in the afternoon, after more than two hours of endurance and perseverance, some dragon boats only saved three or four people. I think: Maybe some people have lost their perseverance. When people arrived at Longmen, they were very nervous. Gunfire came from behind the Longmen from time to time. At this time, Dragon Boat No.97 came to Longmen, which was far away from other dragon boats. In the end, Guangdong Jinweida Color Printing Co., Ltd. won the No.97 Dragon Boat Championship.
The game is over, I think: no matter how great a person's ability is, it is insignificant. As long as everyone Qi Xin works together in Qixin and strives for a goal, it will certainly be achieved.

Have you ever participated in a dragon boat race? I don't think so. But I did it once.
On June 1 day of that year, the father's unit organized employees to take their children to travel to the suburbs. Along the way, we talked and laughed and soon arrived at the seaside. I saw four dragon boats rowing across the water. All kinds of faucets have horns, bright eyes and lifelike. We are divided into four groups, and each group has a headscarf that matches each group of dragon boats and is tied to the head. Some are like cockscomb flowers, some are like butterflies, and some are like tentacles. I covered the lower part of my face with a headscarf and made a "masked warrior" ... everyone boarded the dragon boat with great interest and waited for the race to start.
The referee gave the order and saw four "dragon" arrows flying forward. The scene was really noisy with gongs and drums and colorful flags flying. The password is "one, two, one ...", and everyone exhausted all their strength and rowed desperately. The four dragon boats go hand in hand, you chase after me, compete with each other, show no weakness, and it is difficult for everyone to compete. But just around the corner, the gap was pulled out. Dragon Boat 1 and Dragon Boat 3 have fallen behind, and No.2 will continue with us. In a short time, we left Dragon Boat II behind and far ahead. Finally, it is the most exciting. About ten seconds before we crossed the finish line, the dragon boat 1 suddenly exploded. Several Hercules held their breath, blushed and shouted, and rowed quickly past No.2 and our group, and finally got their wish and won the championship. We had to watch Dragon Boat One steal the champion. Alas, just one breath, who told us to be complacent?
Although we didn't win the game, I still remember it vividly. Isn't the dragon boat race to carry forward the fine tradition of the Chinese nation-unity and cooperation?
