STORYLINE:

Ganzhou City,
Jiangxi Province, China

International students from India, Pakistan, Nigeria and other countries have joined a dragon boat race to experience the tradition of the Dragon Boat Festival, which falls on June 22 this year.

STANDUP 1 (English): USMAN ASGHAR, Student, Gannan Medical University
"Hello, everyone! I'm Usman Asghar. I come from Pakistan. Today, I know that Chinese people have Dragon Boat Festival. And on this festival, people have dragon boat rowing competitions. And today I and all my classmates, we all just came over here to experience this Dragon Boat Festival. And it's a really amazing experience for all of us to experience this amazing Chinese festival.
Okay. Rowing the boat seems very easy, but it's actually very difficult. See, my hands are just worn out. They put this kind of dragon head in front of the boats to make it like a kind of dragon boat."

SOUNDBITE (Chinese): LUO YOUWEI, Member of Ganzhou Nanqiao Dragon Boat Association
"We have five dragon heads here: yellow, green, aged red, red, and white. The dragon boat is 16.8 meters long. There are 24 people rowing, one playing the drum and one at the helm, 26 people in total."

STANDUP 2 (English): USMAN ASGHAR, Student, Gannan Medical University
"The dragon boat (race) is not only a competition of just having a race, but it's also about a comprehensive competition of willpower and teamwork as well. People in the same boat, they help each other as well and work as a unit. And this makes people learn a lesson that they are working as a group. And in this way, they can be more colorful, richer and more successful, I guess."
