The short film is 1 minute and 56 seconds long. The photographer sat on the stern of the No. 4 dragon boat that day, and took pictures of the competition process of the participating athletes.
The whistle sounded at the beginning of the clip, and the competition officially started. I saw the No. 4 dragon boat runners rowing vigorously while counting the beats. After half a minute, the No. 3 dragon boat was getting closer and closer, and the photographer couldn't help exclaiming: "Wow...", words Before the sound fell, the bow of the No. 3 dragon boat swept the thousands of troops and crashed into the stern of No. 4. One of the contestants was hit in the chest by the bow and fell down, almost being pushed into the sea.
The man who was hit was furious, stood up and scolded the other party with foul language.
