Setting off firecrackers to celebrate the Spring Festival has a history of more than 2,000 years in China. Whenever the Spring Festival comes, whether it is a bustling city or a secluded mountain village, whether it is a neon-lit downtown or a deep alley, the sound of firecrackers is "boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. It is the bright jewels, shining petals and colorful sparks that paint a rainbow for the deep dusk and add endless fun to people.
However, with the improvement of living standards, firecrackers tend to get bigger and louder. On New Year's Eve, guns rumbled and flames flashed, which not only made the old people and patients jumpy, but also caused many casualties and heavy losses due to frequent fires. Some people even say that today's fireworks are not entertainment tools, but "weapons of destruction". According to a data, from 1982 to 1993, during the Spring Festival in Tongren Hospital, there were 1820 patients with eye injuries caused by setting off fireworks, of which as many as 39 patients only had their eyes removed. Among the injured patients, some patients were black all over, and some patients had blood all over their faces. They couldn't tell where their noses and eyes were ... When a boy of 14 years old kicked, half of the firecrackers flying into the sky did not explode, but exploded when they landed in front of him. When the doctor told the boy's father that the child's eyeball was to be removed, the boy's father immediately collapsed to the ground.
A 3-year-old boy followed his father to set off fireworks and firecrackers in the non-forbidden area in the eastern suburbs of Beijing. Just got off at the unloading point, suddenly a "kicking" came from nowhere and exploded in front of his eyes, causing the child's left eyelid laceration, traumatic cataract, lens dislocation and retinal detachment. The boy underwent two operations, but his retina failed to reset and his eyeball gradually shrank. Finally, he had to remove his eyeball. Originally, I wanted to have fun with my son, but I didn't expect this disaster to happen to my young son. His father is very remorseful.
In addition to eyes, arms are also the main injured parts of people injured by fireworks.
Li Qingtai, director of hand surgery and chief physician of Jishuitan Hospital, said in an interview: Almost every New Year's Eve, we operate all night. Most patients will cause tendon rupture, fracture, most people's palms or arms will be blown off, and some only have one or two fingers left, basically losing their functions such as flexion and extension. Seriously injured patients usually come to the hospital with a towel or something similar, wrapped around their injured arm. When the package was opened, the injured arm looked like a pool of meat. The worst patient's arm was blown to pieces and had to be amputated from the upper arm. There was once a patient who wouldn't let go, but a fireworks bomb put by others flew into her arms and exploded. As a result, my arms were injured and I lost an eye.
Most people with arm injuries will have different degrees of disability. The most sad thing is that most of the injured people are children, and most of them are boys.
The Spring Festival is approaching, and firecrackers have been set off in the streets. Besides causing harm to the people who set off firecrackers, it will also bring us a lot of inconvenience.
