With the advent of Dragon Boat Festival, everywhere smells of Zongzi (A traditional food made of rice and other ingredients in memory of a famous politician and writer named Qu Yuan).InternationalCollegeand catering service center carried out a Zongzi-making activities themed “Zongzi Comes to You in Dragon Boat Festival” and overseas students and Chinese students gathered in the Bowen Canteen to have a close look of this Chinese tradition. Teachers fromInternationalCollegebriefed overseas students on the origin and customs of Dragon Boat Festival and Mr. Zhang, the executive head chef from the catering service center, explained and demonstrated how to make Zongzi.  Faced with ingredients such as indocalamus, glutinous rice, dates, chicken, salted egg yolk and so on, excitement and bewilderment overwhelmed all the overseas students. Simple as it seems to roll the leaves, wrap the rice and have all bound up, it is hard to master. As a result, Zongzis which are flat or easy to let the rice go are here and there. It is until the Mr. Zhang gave the tips on how to make Zongzi and taught students hand by hand that students succeeded in making Zongzis. Mike, who is fromPoland, said that it was his first time to experience traditional Chinese festival (Dragon Boat Festival). Mike not only tasted Zongzis, but also made many Chinese friend, which made it worthwhile.
