This year's Dragon Boat Festival, or Duanwu Festival, marks the 2,300th anniversary of Qu Yuan's death, a famous Chinese poet who drowned himself in the Miluo River while mourning the loss of his homeland. Since then, people commemorate him every year during the festival. CGTN's Cao Chufeng visits people living along the Miluo River, as they remember Qu Yuan in a very special way.
