It was a job wrapped up and well done for six students and one teacher from HKMA David Li Kwok Po College - along with more than 1,000 other people - when they set a Guinness World Record for wrapping rice dumplings last Sunday.
It weas a team effort - 1,138 people met up at the Hong Kong International Trade and Exhibition Centre and wrapped 34,056 rice dumplings in just three hours.
Irene Ng Mei-sze, home economics teacher at HKMA David Li Kwok Po College, had organised an after-school dumpling wrapping practice session a few days earlier.
For Form One student Tom Chiu Kwong-hung, it was his first 'hands-on' experience with dumplings.
'My family always celebrates the Dragon Boat Festival with a round of tasty rice dumplings. But we usually buy them. This was the first time I actually put my hand to wrapping the festive food.'
The dumpling event was also an insight into traditional Chinese culture for non-Chinese students. Sri Lankan Baba Rashid and his friends picked up so fast that they were soon outdoing some of the local students in dumpling wrapping.
'Wrapping rice dumplings is teamwork,' observed 15-year-old Rashid.
