Whistles of toy soldiers echo memory of fallen heroes

I left Xunxian county, Henan province, when I was 3. Thus my impression of the county comes from a few visits during Spring Festival.

The two main streets, which meet at the Drum and Bell Tower in the town center, are lined with peddlers selling colorful food, clothes and toys around this time.

People here have maintained their deep-rooted traditions. Almost every family makes piles of steamed buns dotted with jujube. They offer these to various deities, like the God of Stove, before carrying them in a basket to visit relatives and friends.
