Fire cracker sell during chinese new year season

A common sound during chinese new year or new year celebration would be the endless shouts of the fire crackers, waking every sleeping soul at night, especially. When I was young, we used to play fire crackers of all sorts, throw it all over the road and field, and everyone else would laugh with us.

Now? A "Booommm..." would trigger some anxious look in the faces of people nearby - "Hey.. the police may hear that.." Yes.. it is now illegal, considering the con outweighing the pro here. Nevertheless, with or without fire cracker, I still love chinese new year.

I love the spring breeze.. *chun feng.
