Disadvantages of Orange Island Fireworks Show - the IFA Responses

On January 24th, a provincial CPPCC member proposed that the weekend fireworks show at ChangshaOrangeIslandbe cancelled for five reasons, which is widely discussed in fireworks industry quickly.

But two days later, when the controversy was not over yet, the 128th fireworks show titled Peacock Princess was held at theOrangeIsland, attracting a large number of audiences once again.

In The afternoon of January 27th, after the end of discussion on the 12th National People's Congress meeting inHunanProvince, a deputy to the Provincial People's Congress and the Secretary-General of the International Fireworks Association accepted an interview with reporters. When it comes to the relevant proposal, they made the following analysis from a professional point of view:

1. Environmental Pollution

Fireworks products have greatly improved from raw materials to production process, the pollution of environment is completely controllable. With the successful development of the micro-smoke products, fireworks will embark on a road of safety and environmental protection. 'The show at theOrangeIslandis setting off in a short time and a small area. Compared with automobile exhaust pollution, it can be without taking into account. Plants are best able to reflect the state of environment of a region. 'If there is serious pollution, then how to explain those vital vegetation on theOrangeIsland?'

2. Personal Injury

TheOrangeIslandis 630-meters away from Dufu Loft, which provide an enough safe distance. There held more than 100 shows and no one get hurt. Apparently, the provincial CPPCC member didn't conduct an investigation about it.

3. The Impact of Learning - Weekend Fireworks Have Effect on Students

Students should have taken a break on Saturday. A 20-minutes-show doesn't have any effect on their learning. Actually, a third audience is students, and many people even specially take high-speed rail toOrangeIslandfrom Shenzhen,Guangzhou,Macao, orWuhanto watch fireworks. The city should provide such a recreational life.

4. Traffic Jam

The traffic conditions aroundOrangeIslandprecisely reflect the level of traffic management ofChangsha, through investigation, we found that friends outsideChangshasaid the traffic is so orderly, though organized such a big activity every week, which is enviable.

5. Extravagance and waste

First, this is not the extravagance and waste of public funds, but a kind of investment bringing the benefits of enhancing the status ofChangshaand promoting tourism, which is a small investment, but large income. The Orange Island Show is long-term held 'cause it's the favorite of general public. The key is that Liuyang Fireworks Enterprises voluntarily participate in the show, and even international fireworks companies regard it as a top-level fireworks competition.

'Flowers' opened in the sky ofOrangeIslandevery Saturday. 128 fireworks shows were setting off, and through the promoting operation for nearly three years, it has become a very loud 'Happy Changsha' travel brand.   

Of course, it should be considered in the future on how to reduce the defects to a minimum, and how to reduce noise and smoke. In fact, this is also coincident with the direction of Liuyang fireworks industry-to strengthen technological innovation and cultural creativity, which is also the direction of efforts for this traditional craft with history of several thousand years.
