My village is generally called Langde which consists of Upper Langde and Lower Langde. My own village is in Upper Langde, 32 km away from Kaili city and 17 km 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 riverside produce beautiful folk songs day and night.
My father says that we have a festival every thirteen years and the festival runs for three consecutive years. People don’t 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 13 th 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 22 nd February to 2 nd March 2009 and the one this year was a very spectacular one.
