The game exactly looks like Chinese Dragon Boat. In chinese culture, the Dragon Boat race takes place during fifth day of May according to the lunar calender of chinese.(the time comes) It is one of major chinese holidays.

The history shows that since summer is a time to easily spread the dieases, the Dragon boat festival begins as an occasion for driving off evil spirits, pestilence, and finding peace in one's life.

I am happy that some people in Wilmington participate in the gragon boat game.
