The Dumpling Festival

So hello everybody and today is 9th June 2016, and it's the Dumpling Festival!!! Yay!!!! Erm...so, if you don't know why Chinese celebrated the Dumpling festival, let me explain for you guys.

A long long long long long long long long long long loooooooooonnnnnnnnggggggg time ago in China ( It is very long ago ), a poet yang bersemangat patriotsime( loyal to the country ) is very disappointed with his country. His name is Qu Yuan ( direct translate from Chinese ), and on that day( Modern Dumpling Festival ), he jumped into a river and killed himself.

He should had learned how to swim! This could save his life. What river he jumped into liao? Is it Rajang or Kinabatangan liao ah? Whatever! Then, the citizens of the country threw dumplings into the river to feed the fishes so they won't eat Qu Yuan's body. They used dragon boats to search for his body but nobody found it.

Well, people nowadays are quite lucky, because Qu Yuan committed suicide because he broke up....I mean disappointed with his country, and we get to try out dumplings and watch dragon boat races. Hawkers are sure grinning at behind too, because dumpling prices are rising like this.
Maybe hawkers will use their creativity too.
Well, if that's so, I'll be expecting for it.
