In the long process of China's social development, a controversial issue has gradually emerged, involving politics, culture, environmental protection and other aspects. The protagonist of this topic is Yang Kaisheng, a former president of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
As a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) since 2010, Yang Kaisheng has put forward a controversial proposal to ban fireworks. This traditional cultural practice has always been deeply rooted in the hearts of the Chinese, but Yang Kaisheng's proposal calls into question this tradition. His voice caused an uproar in the society, as setting off fireworks is not only a custom, but also a source of joy that people chase during festivals.
However, Yang Kaisheng is not just a guardian of traditional culture. His focus goes far beyond that, but also on environmental and safety issues. As a result of his appeal, people have become aware of the dangers of setting off fireworks, including the emission of carbon dioxide and the release of other harmful chemicals. This further complicates the debate over this traditional practice.
In 2016, the "ban on burning" was finally passed, although it faced problems with word of mouth. The implementation of this regulation has affected the production and sale of fireworks and firecrackers, and has gradually faded out of people's lives. During this period, society underwent tremendous changes, and the epidemic and various natural and man-made disasters made people deeply experience the impermanence of life, and also made people start to think about what the true meaning of life is. However, people's voices have not been completely forgotten in the silence.
As life gradually returns to normal, a new voice is gradually emerging, and that is the call for "lifting the ban on fireworks". This call is not only a yearning for traditional culture, but also an ardent expectation of life, and an expression of hope to return to normalcy. On December 26, 2023, in the report reviewed by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, the issue of setting off fireworks and firecrackers resurfaced.
According to reports, Shen Chunyao, director of the Legislative Affairs Commission of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, reported to the meeting on the filing and review work in 2023, one of which involved the setting off of fireworks. After the re-examination, the issue of a "total ban on fireworks and firecrackers" was reorganized, indicating that it is possible to lift the ban in some areas. This initiative has sparked more heated discussions and discussions, and society's attitudes towards this issue have begun to become diverse.
Throughout the development of events, Yang Kaisheng's role as the dominant player gradually evolved. From the original proposer, to the controversial figure he later to, and now to a part of today's social change, his influence has gradually transcended the individual. Although his proposal was met with many skepticism at the time, it also prompted a change in society's perception of fireworks. After the "ban on burning" was passed, his views seemed to be shelved for a while, but the society's attention to the issue has not diminished.
With the development of society, people's attention to traditional culture has not diminished. Especially after experiencing the epidemic and various natural and man-made disasters, I have a deeper understanding of life. This also makes the call for "lifting the ban on fireworks and firecrackers" spread rapidly in society and becomes a desire for a normal life. During the examination by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, the issue of setting off fireworks and firecrackers has once again attracted attention. This shows that the discussion of this topic in society has not ended, but has entered a new stage.
The realignment of the issue of a "total ban on fireworks" may be a reflection on past decisions, or it may be a response to social voices. This decision will have far-reaching implications for the future, with significant implications for traditional culture, environmental protection and social stability. Looking forward to the future, not only the fate of fireworks and firecrackers has attracted much attention, but also Yang Kaisheng's life experience and views will also become the focus of social attention. He may be able to express his views on social development in a more liberal manner after retirement, and his voice may still attract attention to make recommendations for China's financial, economic and social development.
This process of events constitutes a complex and thought-provoking social issue, which integrates multiple dimensions such as traditional culture, environmental protection, and social change. In this process, people are thinking about how to promote social progress while preserving traditions, and how to preserve cultural roots while protecting the environment.
This is a challenging topic and an unavoidable proposition in social development. The development of this series of events is not only related to the legality of fireworks, but also involves the cognition of society, the collision of values and the thinking about the future development direction.
