Many people were asking me the same question-How did a 22-year-old woman row(划)19-foot boat for 70 days? Well, when I was on the sea alone, the biggest difficulty was the feeling of being lonely.
I started on January 3, 2010. More than half the people who try sailing alone often give up in the first two weeks, so I decided to finish one-fourth of the sailing first, which took about 20 days.
Day 20th, January 22 came! I said to myself that I should be happy. But I was feeling so bad. It seemed to be the hardest day for me. I didn't see land for over two weeks Every day I did the same-rowing, eating, sleeping, watching the sky and the ocean. . .
Suddenly I saw something breaking through the water near my boat. They were dolphins they circled my boat and were close enough for me to touch. So I did! Suddenly l felt so moved, they came to say "Hello", just when I needed it most. I was no longer lonely, believing that I would succeed.
And I made it! All, 2, 817 miles I got to the coast on March 14, after 70 days and five hours at sea. So the secret of my success is the moment with those dolphins.

A well-known poem by Tang dynasty poet Du Mu tells of a sad scene in early April: "Rains fall heavily as Qingming comes, and passersby with lowered spirits go."
This scene takes place on Tomb Sweeping Day, also known as Qingming Festival. Tomb Sweeping Day is a traditional Chinese festival. It began in the Zhou dynasty, over 2,500 years ago. Chinese people celebrate it to remember and honor their ancestors(祖先). This year, it falls on April 4. Tomb Sweeping Day became a public holiday in the Chinese mainland in 2008. People have one day off for that day.
On this day, families bring flowers, food and wine to the grave sites(墓地) of their ancestors. They place cakes, fruits in front of the graves and some may burn joss paper, as money for the dead. After that, they sweep the tombs and cherish(怀念) the memories of their dead family members.
Tomb Sweeping Day gives us a chance to show respect to our ancestors and family members who have passed away and show that we miss them. This tradition shows that family values are an important part of Chinese culture.
Tomb Sweeping Day is also the beginning of the time for gardening and outdoor activities in China. Families often get together for outings or to fly kites at this time.
