Due to his major in history and culture, Zhou Zezhong has a good understanding of the origins and stories of traditional festivals.

So in the process of learning to make zongzi, every step is very diligent.

He feels that only by working hard can he integrate with the knowledge he knows and better understand the charm of the Dragon Boat Festival.

　　I think the biggest difference is the filling. We like to eat salty rice dumplings. We eat sweet ones in the north. We are also close to the sea in the south. In addition to adding some bacon or fatty pork, we will also add some seafood like scallops or shrimp skins. Enhance its umami taste.

I am studying history. I think cultural inheritance is very important. Now that I understand some customs of this festival or some of its cultural knowledge, I think it's time to take it slow and let others pass.

　　[Explanation] Not far from Zhou Zezhong, Ding Chuning, a student from the School of Management of Shandong University in Taiwan, is very busy.

Talking about the memory of celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival in Taiwan, Ding Chuning said that in previous years, he could always eat rice dumplings wrapped by his grandmother and celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival with his family.

This year's Dragon Boat Festival, although I was in a foreign land, I gained a different kind of warmth with my classmates and friends.

　　Every year, my grandma would make zongzi. She would send it to Taipei and send it to my house. I think the zongzi made by my grandma is really the best in the world. When I was young, I would set eggs with my family and put realgar wine on her face Wormwood will stick to the door.

It’s been a long time since I went home, and the next time I go home may still have to look at the epidemic, and I can’t be 100% sure that I will go back. I am in a foreign country, but I feel very warm and different when I can spend the holiday with classmates and friends from the same hometown.

　　[Commentary] The reporter saw that there was a camera on Ding Chuning's left hand, and she would interact with the camera from time to time.

Ding Chuning said that the experience of making zongzi with classmates and friends in Jinan today is very meaningful, so he recorded it with a camera.

　　It may be difficult to pack sweet rice dumplings here in the future, so I want to bring a camera to record it.

In fact, I usually post some daily things on my own instagram and share with them.

I think there is actually a need for more exchanges between the two sides of the strait, especially in terms of life, so I think I can serve as such a bridge, which is actually quite happy.

　　[Explanation] It is understood that the theme of this event is the same as the "Zong" to welcome the Dragon Boat Festival with the strong affection of the "Quan" family. It aims to promote traditional culture and condense the affection of the compatriots.

In this way, we can enhance our sense of national identity and cultural identity, and reflect our same roots and origins A deep affection between the two sides of the strait.
