"It is better to cook (bump) until it is rotten than to cook it slowly"! From June 8th to 11th, the 2024 China (Foshan) Diejiao Dragon Boat Drifting Competition and the "Jiujiang Double Steam" 2024 South China Sea Dragon Boat Super League (Guicheng Station) kicked off with excitement. "C bay drift", "sudden braking", coupled with the rapid speed and breathtaking explosive power, the Diejiao dragon boat drift makes people addicted. Many netizens joked, "Dragon boats in various places are to commemorate Qu Yuan, and only dragon boats in Guangdong are to save Qu Yuan."

There were so many people coming to watch the game. On the evening of the 9th, many netizens posted that they made a special trip to watch the game, but due to restrictions, Flow failed to enter. Some netizens can only watch other people’s live TV broadcasts through the fence.
