I remember my childhood days when we celebrated Chinese New Year with loud firecrackers! Dad would welcome the lunar new year by lighting up a long string tied to a bamboo pole from our balcony. Others did the same and soon the roads in the housing estate would be littered bright red!
At night, we had to stuff the years of my baby brothers with cotton wool as the explosive sound of firecrackers would frighten and wake them up. I hope you will enjoy fond memories of yesteryears when you see this art piece! :-)
Sadly but also to the relief of many, fireworks were banned in March 1972. The police had received 376 complaints about the illegal discharge of firecrackers during the Chinese New Year celebrations that year. Glimpses of Eden by jtmuses
