Kickball is a game of passion, of tears, of blood. It is the single greatest game ever conceived, besting even that of a good game of dodgeball. Technically kickball isn't a game of tears and blood, but a good game is marked by the presence of these two elements (as well as a correctly sized (approx. 10") Red Rubber Ball).
Similarly to dodgeball, it is traditionally played with a red rubber ball, but any kickable object is accepted. Traditional rules are similar to that of baseball (an infinitely inferior game, even if it is more popular). The chief difference is that in kickball you kick a ball, instead of, slightly homoerotically, swing at balls with your (wood) bat. Kickball also involves the fielders attempting to get out the runners by tagging them, or (for those with skill) pegging them. Knocking them over is a plus, but, unless otherwise agreed upon, offers no actual advantage. Other rules are followed if agreed upon.
A good kickball player will rule his/her respective playground or park. Or LEAGUE!
There are kickball leagues you can join. Just google it.
> Kickball will soon become the national pastime. It is equal to dodgeball as king of the playground. Beats all others as king of the park.

In some places of China, Qingming festival is also called Cold Food Day. Traditionally on this day, people did not use fire and only ate cold food. And, sweet green rice balls are a type of cold food people often eat on this day. The food is especial
