On
the
evening
of
December
21,
a
fireworks
display
themed
“Fireworks
of
Love”
lit
up
the
sky
above
the
ancient
city
of
Wanzai
in
Jiangxi
Province,
China.
The
show,
designed
by
French
fireworks
artist
Sophie,
won
the
Gold
Award
at
the
5th
China
International
Fireworks
and
Culture
Festival
of
Wanzai.

The
year
of
2024
marks
the
60th
anniversary
of
the
establishment
of
China-France
diplomatic
relations.
Sophie
blended
French
romanticism
with
traditional
Chinese
culture
and
stories,
using
colors
such
as
blue
and
red
to
create
a
romantic
atmosphere
in
celebration
of
the
milestone.

Sophie
has
had
a
deep
interest
in
Chinese
culture
since
childhood.
During
the
2008
Beijing
Olympics,
she
contributed
to
the
creative
planning
of
the
opening
ceremony.
Deeply
impressed
by
the
grandeur
of
the
fireworks
displays,
she
has
named
herself
苏绮(Su
Qi),
which
means
to
be
as
beautiful
and
brilliant
as
fireworks.

Driven
by
her
love
for
China,
Sophie
has
settled
in
Wanzai.
Now
she
works
for
a
local
large-scale
fireworks
company
and
oversees
fireworks
performances
in
the
ancient
city.

Located
in
northwest
Jiangxi,
Wanzai
has
a
history
spanning
over
1,400
years
in
fireworks
production
and
is
one
of
China’s
four
major
fireworks
manufacturing
areas.
Its
fireworks
have
illuminated
the
skies
at
major
events,
including
the
Beijing
Olympics,
the
Shanghai
World
Expo,
and
National
Day
celebrations
in
Beijing.
