The Spring Festival, as a traditional festival in China, carries the expectations and joy of countless people. However, in recent years, due to environmental and safety considerations, fireworks and firecrackers have been banned in many places, which has made many people question how the Spring Festival is celebrated. Recently, Shen Chunyao, director of the Legislative Affairs Committee of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, mentioned in the report that "a complete ban on fireworks and firecrackers is illegal", which has aroused widespread concern and heated discussions in the society.
CCTV said in the article "Should the ban on fireworks and firecrackers be fully untied" published on December 28 that the local ban on fireworks and firecrackers is mainly due to environmental pressure and safety hazards. However, China has achieved remarkable results in environmental protection, and at the same time, it has been a mature experience in various places to delineate the time and area where fireworks can be set off and to take safety measures. Therefore, the decision to completely ban fireworks and firecrackers is worth revisiting.
The article emphasizes that Chinese people have worked hard for a year and should enjoy the joy of the New Year.
There should be the right to look up at the brilliant fireworks. Before the Spring Festival in 2024, all localities should take the voice of the National People's Working Committee as an opportunity to reconsider the ban on fireworks and firecrackers. This is not only a respect for traditional customs, but also a response to people's expectations and joy.
At the same time, fireworks concept stocks rose sharply on December 28, among them, Huatai and ST Panda rose by more than 10%, and Kailong Shares, Poly United, Gaozheng Civil Explosive, Cathay Pacific Group, etc. followed up. This phenomenon is undoubtedly a positive response to the illegal voice of a complete ban on fireworks and firecrackers.
The decision to completely ban fireworks and firecrackers has not only triggered extensive discussion in the society, but also affected the development of related industries. However, we should see that environmental protection and safety are not opposites, but can complement each other. In terms of environmental protection, China has achieved remarkable results, which provides the possibility for us to reconsider the ban on fireworks. At the same time, delineating the time period and area that can be set off and doing a good job in safety measures are also important means to ensure the safety of fireworks and firecrackers.
Therefore, we have reason to believe that as long as we can formulate relevant policies scientifically and rationally, which can not only protect people's right to set off fireworks, but also ensure the needs of environmental protection and safety, then the decision to completely ban fireworks and firecrackers may be revised. And this amendment is not only a respect for traditional customs, but also a response to people's expectations and joys.
Overall, the decision to ban fireworks and firecrackers altogether, it's time to revisit. We have reason to believe that as long as we can take the voice of the National People's Working Committee as an opportunity to fully consider the needs of environmental protection and safety, then we will be able to find a solution that can not only protect people's right to set off fireworks, but also ensure environmental protection and safety. And this will also be a respect for traditional customs, and a response to people's expectations and joy.
