The book "Chu Ci" is very interesting! I admire Qu Yuan's story so much. His patriotism and perseverance are really worth learning from. Just like the last time I participated in the competition, although it is difficult, as long as you don't give up, it is possible to succeed! This book also gave me a deeper understanding of traditional Chinese culture, and I feel that my knowledge has been enriched!
