[Explanation] June 3 is the Dragon Boat Festival, and it is also the first traditional festival for Shanghai to fully restore normal production and life order.

At the Shanghai Global Harbor South Plaza, the largest commercial complex in the central city of Shanghai, the reporter saw women dressed in traditional folk costumes lining up, showing the skills of making zongzi, and cooking the fragrant zongzi on the earthen stove.

The bottom of the pot is burning with firewood, and someone is pulling the bellows by the stove. The rising "fireworks" makes more people feel the passion of Shanghai.

  I never thought that this thing (earth stove) could be built today, and then there are so many dumplings here, which is really meaningful.

  As soon as we saw so many (zongzi), we felt that the "fireworks" came back.

  [Explanation] At 11:00 a.m. that day, Ding Zuohong, the head of Shanghai Global Harbor, distributed the first batch of rice dumplings, native eggs and duck eggs to the Shanghai people present.

Among them are city builders and strugglers who came to Shanghai from other places, as well as truck drivers, courier boys and community workers.

  I think a lot of people from other places, foreign towns and foreigners are in Shanghai, and they also want to spend the holidays with their families. I think Shanghai is their home.

  [Explanation] Ding Zuohong said that all the dumplings are made by hand.

The raw material is high-quality round glutinous rice from Rugao, which is wrapped with fresh bamboo leaves collected directly from the field. Finally, it must be put into a large iron pot together with the eggs and boiled with firewood for five hours to burn out the unique fragrance. Waxy.

  Dedicated to the people who come to Shanghai to build Shanghai and serve Shanghai, and give him (her) a warm feeling. Every merchant in the Global Harbor, one person per person, we have ordered one at a time, all of them have come back to work. I am very moved, and the rate of resumption of work is 97%. %.

  [Commentary] Ding Zuohong said that after experiencing this epidemic, I hope that everyone in the city of Shanghai can stick together like zongzi and rice grains, stick together, be united, and stay safe and healthy.
