On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the festive atmosphere was still strong. In a specialized fireworks and firecrackers shop in Banqiao Township, Litong District, Wuzhong City, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, the shop owner, Sister Ma, was busy attending to customers. "This case of 'Earth Red' is selling well, get me two more cases," a regular customer called out upon entering. "Hold on, let me check this newly arrived stock first," said Sister Ma, holding a purchase order and carefully checking it against the labels on the cases. "Recently, officials from the Market Supervision Bureau have been coming every day, teaching me how to read labels and check expiration dates. Now I'm practically a half-qualified 'quality inspector' myself."
This exchange is a vivid snapshot of the Wuzhong Market Supervision Bureau's efforts to ensure fireworks safety during the Spring Festival holiday. On February 20th, the bureau received a call: "Fireworks products sold by XX Company have non-standard production date markings on their outer packaging and have already entered the market." "Investigate immediately! Not a moment's delay!" Market supervision departments at the city and county levels quickly coordinated, with enforcement officers heading straight to the sales company. "When was this batch of goods purchased? How much was purchased? Where have they been sold? With non-standard packaging labels, consumers can't clearly see the expiration date. What if an incident occurs? This is no small matter!" the enforcement officers said sternly, issuing an on-site rectification order.
"Please purchase fireworks from正规 retail outlets and strictly adhere to controlled area restrictions..." During the Spring Festival, many residents in Wuzhong received such a温馨提示 on their phones. "This text message came just in time!" said Grandpa Li, who was selecting fireworks with his grandson, laughing. "The child likes the excitement, but I have to make sure we do it in the right place, can't just set them off anywhere." In prohibited areas, personnel were on patrol every night, promptly制止 12 instances of违规燃放行为.
In every retail store,提示标语 outlining "Five Prohibitions" and "Three Musts" were prominently displayed. Enforcement officers personally instructed shop owners on how to inspect packaging, install protective equipment, and check fire extinguishers. "Selling fireworks now isn't just about knowing the business; you have to understand safety knowledge too," Sister Ma said while bagging items for a customer. "This is better. Customers can buy with peace of mind, and I can sell with peace of mind."
From the source to the end-user, from daytime to late night, the steps of market supervision personnel did not cease—all to ensure that the city's festive fireworks truly represented joyous celebrations in a prosperous era.
