For Chinese, it’s a time for dragon boat racing and Zongzi（粽子）. But across the Yellow Sea, South Korea, wrestling（摔跤）and swing play are the highlights. However, both events go by the same name---the Dragon Boat Festival---which falls on May 5 of the lunar calendar.
One festival, two cultures: does one nation have the right to call its own? It has been reported that South Korea will apply to the United Nations Educational, Social and Cultural Organization（UNESCO联合国教科文组织）to make the celebration its cultural heritage（文化遗产）. If successful, people from other countries may see the Dragon Festival as a Korean creation.
As the birthplace of the yearly event more than 2,000 years ago, China is not happy with the situation. “It would be a shame if another country successfully made a traditional Chinese festival part of its own cultural heritage ahead of China,”said Zhou Heping, deputy culture minister. The Ministry of Culture is even thinking of making its own application to UNESCO, covering all traditional Chinese festivals, including the Dragon Boat event.
Over the years, the Dragon Boat Festival has spread throughout the world. In Japan and Viet Nam, as well as South Korea, the festival has mixed with and become part of local culture.
With this in mind, some experts say that it is meaningless to argue about which country the festival belongs to. “No one can deny that it came from China,”said Long Haiqing , an expert from Hunan Province. “But if all the countries involved can protect culture heritage together, they will all benefit.”

 A lookalike(相像者) of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un(金正恩) has been shocking people in Hong Kong. The 34-year-old impersonator(假扮者), known as Howard, certainly turned heads when he paraded down the city’s streets, drawing a crowd of passers-by trying to get a photo, but not everyone was fooled by the costume.

“I was surprised and I thought hey, I have seen anywhere before, but that was on German TV, and so I recognized him as a dual. I couldn’t believe that he’s the true one.”

Howard says he transformed himself into the North Korean leader earlier this year after his friends joked about the resemblance（相像）.

“When he came to power, when he was the president of North Korea, then I got a lot of comments that I look like the guy and then you know, we joked back and forth, yeah, maybe I should get dressed up and do some concerts with it. After all, I’m a musician so you know, it’s about the performance.”

Within weeks Howard was in great demand, being flown across the world to film TV commercials and make special appearances, and he hopes the work keeps coming.

“Well, I’m set up for life. What can I say? I mean, Reggie Brown, all these Obama impersonators, they got eight years! I’ve got a lifetime, unless he gets killed, that is. Which could happen, you never know. I’ve heard Kim Jong-nam(金正南) is working something up.”

But if you want the Kim Jong-un lookalike at your party, it will set you back a pretty penny. He now charges the equivalent of 700 US dollars for an appearance.
