"Pragmatic Taiwan independence workers" also celebrated the Dragon Boat Festival, a traditional Chinese festival.
Lai Ching-te, deputy leader of the Taiwan region, said today that hanging calamus, bathing in wormwood, wearing sachets, and the Dragon Boat Festival is a traditional festival to drive away the plague; because of the epidemic situation, everyone will inevitably feel uneasy and inconvenient, but the more so, the more we must help each other, encourage each other, show the spirit of unity such as the dragon boat race, and give more encouragement and care to front-line epidemic prevention partners, medical personnel, relatives and friends.
He also said that people sent away plague gods in different ways, including the "race to drive away the epidemic" of dragon boat racing, through the strong will in the race, to expel the epidemic and evil poison.
Like last year, Taiwan's Dragon Boat Festival this year is also in the outbreak of the epidemic, and politicians are helpless and can only shout slogans to prevent the epidemic.
