Joseph: I hear there are many traditional (传统的) festivals in China. Americans celebrate Father’s Day in June.
Li Hua: Yes, it’s on the fifth day of the fifth lunar (阴历) month. We call it the Dragon Boat Festival.

Li Hua: We make and eat rice dumplings and have dragon boat races. We do the activities to remember a hero called Quyuan.
Joseph: Oh, I see.
