“Almost invariably, father would burn a finger lighting up one of those gigantic row of firecrackers. That too was tradition. We were told that Ah Choh (Grandfather’s mother) did that too – burned her own fingers playing firecrackers during CNY – so father was just keeping a family tradition alive, I guess“
This was the entry for last year’s CNY. How things have changed. I will, above all else, again remember my father this CNY.
