My village is generally called Langde which consists of Upper Langde and Lower Lane. My own
village is Upper Langde, 32 kilometers away from Kaili city and 17 kilometers away from Leishan
Country. My hometown is located at the foot of a scenic mountain with a murmuring crystal clear river
in front. Groups of waterwheels by the river side produce beautiful folk songs day and night.
My father said that we have this festival runs for three consecutive years. People do not kill fattened
pigs during the first and second years but only in the final year. So the most special year is the last one,
namely the 13th year. As you can imagine, it is not easy to see many in one lifetime. I can’t remember
what the last one, 13 years ago, was like. Fortunately my village held the festival from 22nd February to
2
nd March this year and the one this year was a very spectacular.
