Spending time with the family is the most important thing

My first Chunjie (Chinese Spring Festival) was spent at my wife's home in the Fangshan district of Beijing.

I have to say that it was the first time I had seen so many fireworks in the streets. I was really impressed ... and a bit scared, too. The whole sky was illuminated with colors. It was incredibly beautiful. We couldn't even hear ourselves speak.

At one point, I looked to my left and a firework exploded right next to my wife and me. One of the launchers had fallen and was pointing towards the crowd. We had to run away from the rockets; it was really thrilling and fortunately no one was hurt.
