The Sound of Fireworks Transmits True Feelings – Shangli People Fight the Epidemic in Their Own Way
With a sudden, familiar sound, it shattered the recent silence that had been suffocating. Then, the booming voices rose and fell.
Watching through the window, groups of colorful light rose quickly, leaving a line of gray smoke behind.
Subsequently, fireworks bloomed one by one from bottom to top, illuminating the entire city of Shangli's night sky.
Orange fireworks were like beautiful meteor showers, eventually disappearing into the ground.
The distant golden fireworks sprayed around, like a pot of chrysanthemums, conveying peace and health to the people.
'Chrysanthemums' kept shrinking, finally disappearing with the nearby sound of firecrackers in Shangli's night sky.
Slowly, the entire city was shrouded in smoke.
Bright lights illuminated people's faces. However, people's silence and lack of greeting changed their former festive joy. This Chinese New Year, no one's heart was filled with festive happiness.
Although it was aimed at the motherland, Shangli's most beloved fireworks, people's hearts were still like a stone weighing a thousand pounds, very heavy and sorrowful.
Every morning, we Shangli people opened our phones and watched the numbers constantly rising in the news. Our hearts were trembling and bleeding.
One thousand plus patients diagnosed, hundreds of our compatriots' lives lost – how could this not touch everyone's heart?
Today, we Shangli people pray for our sick motherland, bless every compatriot in Hubei, to overcome the disease and recover quickly.
I have always disliked firecrackers, always feeling that the smoke is pungent and the sound is harsh after they are ignited. But today, holding little Bao from the window of the living room to the windowsill of the restaurant, I couldn't look away or stop listening.
Outside, colorful big balls overlapped, colorful and vibrant, so peaceful and beautiful. 'Piri pa la' sounds, far and near, large and small, were so charming.
At this moment, the earth-shattering sound of firecrackers still rang out, hoping that this sound would reach every patient's ears, reach the heart of every patient's family and medical personnel.
We always believe that as long as we work together and everyone strives wholeheartedly, we can overcome difficulties and break the spread of the virus.
Wait for the next day, let's celebrate Chinese New Year together!
