Day 1

Passage 1

During the Spring Festival, Liu Huimin and his team set up a furnace (熔炉). Inside the furnace is burning-hot liquid iron (铁水) which they throw into the air to create fireworks.

This show is known as “Datiehua”. It has been considered a form of celebration during China’s Spring Festival and Lantern Festival since the Song Dynasty. Each show is given for good luck. When villagers open a business or get married, they invite Liu and his team to celebrate the activity.

“I grew up by the Yellow River. I have been doing it for more than 40 years,” Liu said. For people in Shanxi province, Datiehua is one of the most popular Spring Festival customs.

According to Liu, the furnace needs to be heated for nearly 40 minutes and the temperature must be higher than 1,500℃. Only in this way can the liquid iron be fine enough to create wonderful sparks (火花).

When night falls, the show starts. Using a big long spoon (勺子), a man takes the liquid iron from the furnace. He then hits the spoon with a piece of wood.

Bang! Bang! The red-hot liquid iron becomes dazzling (耀眼的) sparks. These shining “stars” light up the night sky. They can be more beautiful than real fireworks. People sit or stand with happy smiles on their faces.

Behind the wonderful show lies great danger because accidents still happen. During a show in Henan province, Liu’s hair got a little burnt.

“People ask me why I’m still doing it when it’s so dangerous. I tell them that I’m just happy to bring joy to people,” Liu said.

27-year-old twin sisters Zhao Wenjing and Zhao Yajing plan to open their first self-built public library in late spring 2024. This may be the first public library opened by spinal muscular atrophy (SMA脊髓性肌萎缩症) patients in China.
