Setting off firecrackers and fireworks is a centuries-old tradition in China, but it may have come to an end in many cities like Shanghai, Hangzhou and Nanjing, with the enforcement of the strictest-ever bans in a bid to reduce pollution and improve public safety. However, some people said this ban means they would lose the Lunar New Year ritual, while others said stopping fireworks could help cut pollution.
