Dragon boat racing isn’t just about teamwork

Kayton Tang on June 24, 2025

Dragon boat racing isn’t just about teamwork – it’s also about precision and care.

Meet 家文 si fu, a native fisherman from Aberdeen and one of the few people in Hong Kong who knows how to repair dragon boats. 🛠️🐉

Growing up in a fishing village, 家文 si fu was deeply influenced by the dragon boat culture since a young age. Now, with his skilled hands and traditional craftsmanship, he breathes life into every boat he touches, quietly keeping the spirit of Hong Kong’s wooden dragon boat tradition alive! 🔥🔥🔥

Beyond his exceptional craftsmanship, 家文 si fu also has a rare gift: he can communicate with dragon boats! 💬 He even said, “Actually, she can can speak… dragon boats really do communicate with you.” 🐲
