期待好久好久了，炮竹花提起脚跟，伸长颈项，站立如企鹅，期待春天的来临，在路旁，在田野，在花园，在人间……。
当春天哼着她的歌，捏弄着她的衣角，缓步而来，炮竹花便劈劈啪啪地拍着手——拍红了手，拍红了脸，满脸堆着笑，欢欣鼓舞地迎接着她的来临，在路旁，在田野，在花园，在人间……。
那是怎样的一种美景！几个孩子摀着耳朵，显现畏怯的样子，脸上挂着天真。一个孩子拿着点燃的香条，伸长手去点燃炮竹，遂有劈啪之声响起，有漫空轻烟，有孩子摀着耳朵……。
然后，摀着耳朵的手放下了……。
然后，一个个孩子的脸绽满花朵了……。
然后，当然是一串串炮竹花，一串串春天了……。
其实，炮竹花何尝不是春天？不是在欢唱春天的歌？拍手本身就捏弄得出春天来，就在欢唱春天的歌！从掌心可以拍出一个春来，唱出一个春天来……。
一串拍起，一串拍起，又一串拍起……。
一串唱起，一串唱起，又一串唱起……。
一串拍起，一串唱起，挤挤挨挨，是一片红的海，洋溢一片红彩，一片欢颜，一片童趣，一片春景……。
啊，炮竹花，红彩，欢颜，童趣，春景……。

Fire-cracker Vine   Hsu ChiCheng

Awaiting for long time， the fire-cracker vine stands like penguin with tiptoe， extends his neck， hoping the coming of the spring， by the road， in the field， in the garden， in the world…
When the spring comes slowly with singing， twists the hem of his dress， the fire-cracker vine will clap his hands，–claps into red his hands， claps into red his face， piles fully his smile， to welcome joyfully at her coming， by the road， in the field， in the garden， in the world…
What it’s a kind of beautiful landscape! There are some boys with naïve on their face， cowardly covers their ears. One of them takes a joss stick in burning， stretches his hand to ignite the fire-cracker， so that there sounds the claps， the thin smoke fills the whole sky， and there are the boys cover their ears…
Then， the hands cover the ears put down…
Then， there blossoms fully on every boy’s face…
Then， of course there are cluster and cluster of fire-cracker vine， cluster and cluster of spring…
In fact， is it not the spring the fire-crack vine? Is it not the song sung joyfully of the spring? Clap hands originally can twist out the spring， can sing out joyfully the song of spring! A spring can be clapped out from the centre of the palm， and sung out from the centre of the palm…
Clap a cluster， clap a cluster， and clap a cluster again…
Sing a cluster， sing a cluster， and sing a cluster…
Clap a cluster， sing a cluster， huddle together， it’s a stretch of red sea， is permeated fully with a stretch of red colour， a stretch of joyful face， a stretch of children’s delight…
Oh， fire-crack vine， red colour， joyful face， children’s delight， and spring landscape…@
