Expressing heartfelt sentiments on the Dragon Boat Festival, sharing joy and prosperity through zongzi.
In the heartwarming month of May, the fragrant aroma of zongzi leaves fills the air. As the traditional Dragon Boat Festival approaches, Suzhou Tongtai New Energy organized a zongzi‑making competition under the theme “Festival Spirit, Tongtai Unity,” aiming to enrich employees’ cultural festivities and strengthen team cohesion. More than 200 Tongtai staff gathered together, savoring the festive atmosphere.
At 5 p.m., the pre‑prepared ingredients—sticky rice, sweet bean paste, zongzi leaves, candied dates, and more—were neatly arranged on the tables. Participants were divided into ten teams, and at the host’s signal, everyone got to work, quickly finding their rhythm. They rolled up the zongzi leaves, stuffed them with rice, and as the leaves fluttered back and forth, the finished zongzi were tied with string. In the deft hands of each participant, fragrant zongzi leaves and glistening grains of rice were transformed in an instant into beautifully shaped, plump zongzi.
