Dragon Boat Festival 端午節

One of the biggest festival in Chinese world, Dragon Boat Festival is coming. I'll take a day off. Oh, yeah!!! I really want to take a rest. I won't get up early and do something meaningless thing. Sometimes, my colleague's behaviors (greedy, smugly) make me sick. I really do not like to work. I really like my campus life. There, I have my interesting classmates, my gracious professors, and my easy life. Earning money is not really my responsibility. The only one I should do is study hard and learn worthful knowledge and skills, but now I've graduated from college for one year. A year has been passed. Time flies. This is the only reflection I've got within this year. I AM NOT A FRESHMAN IN THE SOCIETY.

Actually, this diary should be written to introduce Dragon Boat Festival (why I want to introduce it is because perhaps some friends in interpal will drop by and read my diary), but above all I've written are my reflection to my present work. Yes, I have some complain about my job, my workplace, and my colleague. However, the point is I CANNOT QUIT. This is so miserable. Even I do not really like there, I still have to act like I'm happy. So shame... I'm not a high-qualified person, the rate of unemployment is high, and the most important thing is that I AM THE ONLY PERSON THAT CAN SUPPORT MY FAMILY. Ironically, I don't really like my job, but I'm afraid one day I will be fired at unawareness. I'm not the key role in my company. My position can be easily replaced by others... ... ...

Dragon Boat Festival is in commemoration of the great poet, Qu-Yuan (屈源). He had a great ambition to his country, but his emperor is unwise that he only accepted bad guys opinions. Qu-Yuan is so upset that he jumped into the Ni Luo Jian(a river) and killed himself. People who admire his great sentiments and his personailty develop some special activities in order to memoralize him, including Dragon boat competition, rice dumpling, hsiung huang wine, and moxa placing at the gate.
