Hey there! π Have you ever heard of the Dragon Boat Festival? It’s a super fun and ancient Chinese festival that involves racing colorful dragon boats! π£ββοΈπ
On May 30, 2025, Chinese Ambassador to the United States, Xie Feng, and his wife Wang Dan joined lots of people in Washington, D.C. to celebrate this exciting festival. People from both sides of the Taiwan Strait came together to share traditions and have a great time!
Ambassador Xie shared a special message during the event. He said that people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait are like one big family. “No force can break the bonds between us,” he said. “Together, we look forward to a bright future!” π
He talked about how everyone shares the same history and culture, and how important it is to work together. Ambassador Xie also expressed hopes that everyone would be inspired by the spirit of the dragon boat races. “With over 1.4 billion Chinese people rowing in unison,” he said, “there’s no storm we can’t weather, no destination we can’t reach!” π£ββοΈπ£ββοΈπͺ
The Dragon Boat Festival is not just about racing boats. It’s about teamwork, determination, and aiming for excellence. Ambassador Xie encouraged everyone to embrace these values and move forward together toward a wonderful future. π
