屈原是战国时期楚国的政治家，由于大胆劝谏而触犯了楚王，最后被罢官流放。楚国灭亡时，屈原投江自尽。
传说屈原在五月初五这天投汨罗江自尽殉国，当地百姓闻讯马上划船捞救一直行至洞庭湖始终不见屈原的尸体，人们为了打捞贤臣屈大夫冒雨出动争相划进茫茫的洞庭湖。
为了寄托哀思人们荡舟江河之上此后才逐渐发展成为龙舟竞赛，百姓们又怕江河里的鱼吃掉他的身体，就纷纷回家拿来米团投入江中，以免鱼虾糟蹋屈原的尸体，后来就成了吃粽子的习俗。

Dear Jack，
Do you know a Chinese traditional Festival is drawing near? The Dragon Boat Festival! Also known as Duanwu Festival, it falls on the fifth day of the fifth month according to the lunar calendar. It was created in honor of a patriotic poet Qu Yuan, who devoted himself to the people but was unfairly treated by the unwise king. Hopeless and angry, he drowned himself to prove his love to his motherland．
Nowadays, the festival is observed by dragon boat races and eating Zongzi. By celebrating it, we follow the trace of the ancestors. And we can also get together with our families.
Have you got any idea of this traditional festival? Looking forward to your reply. (118 words)
Yours,
Li Hua
