As a Chinese living outside of China,
...
I have never seen "Dragon Boat" races on this
festive day of the "Dragon Boat Festival"
...
But there are always plenty of
glutinous rice dumplings
...
But
It does defies logic: a mandatory national holiday
in China and HongKong
to commemorate an accused traitor,
a loyal counsellor to the King of Chu
"Qu Yuan" (屈原)
one who opposed China’s founding dynasty?
And we celebrate with
dragon boat racing and sticky rice?
