一年一度的多伦多国际龙舟节由多伦多华商会主办，自一九八九年开始，便成为一个集体育活动、多元文化及文娱表演的一个大型户外盛会。龙舟节除了庆祝中国的端午节传统外，还可增进公众对中华文化的了解。 The Toronto International Dragon Boat Race Festival, to be held on June 20 and 21, 2009, is organized by the Toronto Chinese Business Association, a long-established, prestigious not-for-profit community business organization. It was founded in 1972, to promote the social, cultural and the economic well-being of Chinese Canadians and the understanding of Chinese culture and traditions. The Festival, which started in 1989, turned international in 1993. From the humble beginning with only 27 teams participating in the first festival back in the summer of 1989 - in the past several years, it has reached the full capacity in managing the event consisting of 180 teams with over 5,000 athletes participating in the Festival. Once again this year, the Festival will welcome teams from other provinces across Canada and from the U.S., Europe and Asia. As the Festival enters its 21st year in 2009 it will continue to be one of the most exciting summer events in Canada. It combines culture and sports with ethnic group performances and more than 180 teams competing the races. Meeting all expectations in 2008, attendance at the Toronto International Dragon Boat Race Festival once again soared past the 120,000 mark to make it one of the most popular summer festivals in Toronto. http://www.dragonboats.com/pages/home.html
上学期有幸入选清华大学公派学生出国交换计划，离开清华大学北京协和医学院前往加拿大多伦多大学医学院学习，点点滴滴收获颇多，感悟也非一时能写完。最近在利用课余时间读医学史家Michael Bliss写的《The Discovery of Insulin》，备感多伦多大学前人创业之艰，同时在如何做人做学问方面，大师的风范让我一生受益。 文章我正在给系刊《荷风》写一篇，先贴一个我上学期放假后制作的一个摄影集，供大家欣赏。 Tsinghua University, Beijing, China.
