To celebrate Dragon Boat Festival, an underwater dance performance titled Pray was aired on Henan TV last Saturday night, the first day of the holiday.

Featuring the goddess of Luo River – a mysterious beauty best known in the poetry of Cao Zhi during the Three Kingdoms period, the dancer Haohao He, a former synchronized swimmer, recreated the elegance of this ancient Chinese goddess.

"Her body soars lightly like a startled swan. Gracefully, like a dragon in flight," Cao Zhi thus described her figure.

Pray, the opening of a special Dragon Boat Festival program on Henan TV, is expected to lead in an array of shows. (Text: chinadaily.com.cn Photo provided to chinadaily.com.cn)
