Question

Wang Xingyue, 14, from Shanghai:

I don’t think we should set off firecrackers (爆竹) during holidays. It is really noisy when people fire them during midnight. People around can’t sleep well. Besides, it brings air pollution and lots of rubbish. Most people do not clean the rubbish after they set off firecrackers. So I think there is no need to set them off anymore during holidays.

Liu Ran, 14, from Shandong:

Setting off firecrackers is a tradition during Chinese festivals. They set them off to celebrate or wish a happy new year. The ceremony is very important in Chinese people’s lives. And it also reminds us of one of the four great inventions of China, gunpowder (火药). We can’t give it up. It is good to have this ceremony during holidays. Do you agree with me?

Zhang Qi, 14, from Guangxi:

Firecrackers are dangerous and bad for the air. But it is really an important tradition in Chinese festivals. So I think we can use something else to replace (代替) them. For example, we can use LED fireworks instead. It is also beautiful and attractive. And it is much safer. Even kids can play with them.

Li Qing, 14, from Jiangsu:

I think we can improve the technology of firecrackers. The firecrackers we use now are dangerous. That’s why we can’t fire them anytime or anywhere we want. But if we can make them much safer and good for the air, we don’t have to give up the interesting tradition during Chinese festivals.
