The fifth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar is the traditional festival of Dragon Boat Festival in China. Every family has to make dumplings and eat them. This is a custom in our hometown. It is said that it is in memory of the great patriotic poet Qu Yuan. My family is no exception. A few days in advance, my grandmother bought zongye, glutinous rice, red dates, peanuts, raisins and red beans.

On the Dragon Boat Festival, the whole family got up early and started making zongzi. Making zongzi looks simple, but it is difficult to make it. Look, "pa", the leaves of rice dumplings are falling apart; I managed to wrap a zongzi, but it looked like an "old man with a crooked mouth". He staggered, finally found a foothold to stand, but he shook involuntarily and looked like a tumbler. I couldn't help laughing.

Grandma who stood by glanced at the unseemly zongzi and glanced at me again. She took the zongzi leaves without saying anything, and patiently taught me, "You should concentrate on making zongzi, fold the leaves up and down, and pay attention to the pros and cons." I was very surprised to hear this, and thought to myself, the little zongzi still has knowledge, so I'd better learn it well, lest the zongzi I made be out of shape again.

I stacked two zongzi leaves of similar size in sequence, curled them in the middle and made them into a funnel shape. First, I put a jujube, and then I put in some glistening glutinous rice. Three times around and four times around, a general with a big belly appeared in front of me. When I tied it on him, he looked even more proud.

At this moment, I finally understand the true meaning of the sentence "Nothing is difficult in the world, if you put your mind to it".
