My village is generally called Langde which consists of Upper Langde and Lower Langde . My
own village is Upper Langde, 32 kms away from Kaili City and 17 kms away from Leishan County. 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 every thirteen years and the 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 cannot remember what the last one, 13 years ago, was like. Fortunately, my
village held the festival from 22nd February to 2nd March this year (2004) and the one this year was a
very spectacular one. [consecutive: continuous]
