Xiao Shi, a Han Chinese friend who considers himself a Bu ethnic group in Kada, said that this feast is really the longest joint annual gathering in history. It was busy from 2022 to 2023. It was originally supposed to be held in 2022, but affected by the epidemic, And until 2023, no matter how busy he is at work, he has to take time off to participate, because he is already a member of the Kadadibu tribe, and cross-stitch and traditional clothing embroidery are not difficult for him.

Chen Zhiyuan said that the impact of the epidemic is not only a delay in time, but also makes it more difficult to raise funds for activities and use manpower. In terms of self-contained projects, in the past, as long as tribes held activities and asked colleagues for sponsorship, it cost 100,000 to 200,000 yuan It's not difficult, but due to the epidemic, many companies are struggling to survive, so they can only donate 10,000 to 20,000 yuan to help organize Kanaluvan (Kanaluvan's middle-aged and youth groups) in manpower Scheduling and utilization of financial resources have encountered unprecedented difficulties.

Manpower and money are required for lawnmower oil, paving cement for road holes, building scaffolding and watchtowers, and transportation to and from the tribal areas. Tribal women and teenagers also have no time to relax. They practice singing the welcome songs of various tribes every night in the cold, pick up stones, and tidy up marathons. On the wild track, everyone regards it as their own business and is willing to participate in it, in order to make all the Puyuma people get together every two years, and the emotions and centripetal force of all the tribes can be more cohesive.

Chen Zhiyuan said, "If it is to be held in Balaguan (tribal meeting place), under the existing conditions, of course it is very convenient to do anything; but in 20 years it will be Kadadibu's turn to host, and then we must find a way to make it out. A bloody road creates more possibilities visible to the naked eye in the barrenness, and let the tribe know that as an aboriginal people, they will overcome all difficulties and move forward with the courageous persistence in the face of traditional fields and the courageous support in the face of problems. This is also the direction that Kadadibu will work harder in the future.”

Chen Zhiwei, head of the adult group of the Kadadibu Tribe, said that the tribal joint annual gathering was successfully concluded, and he was grateful to the ancestors and the tribesmen, and many relatives who helped and sponsored. Everyone has worked hard. All this is touching The pictures are all right to the point, and these beautiful pictures, which are too numerous to count, contain every bit of touching emotion.

The participating warriors of each wrestling corner did not give in to each other, showing the fiercest warrior spirit of the Puyuma people, and the cheering outside the court was loud and loud.
