"This documentary is about fireworks manufacturing in China.
Visit a Chinese firecracker, cracker and cake factory. You can see how the firecrackers are made from scratch. You see, different techniques and machines. Watch the fascinating steps as "hexagons" are bunched together, then cleverly cut down the middle. Then see how the tubes are loaded, crimped, fused, lined up and packed. Filmed, edited and narrated by a western expert. Factories near Liyuang City, Hunan Province, China"

When you have a population of over a billion people I guess it makes sense to NOT invest in automation and modern equipment. So many of these jobs could be done more safely and more efficiently but would result in the loss of employment by 80% of the workers. The only thing I will fault them for is poor worker health safety. Paper dust is a harsh skin irritant and can scar lung tissue. Black powder is a carcinogen. Both can cause damage to the eyes. Yet only a few people were wearing cheap dust masks and nobody had eye protection. Their clothes were probably saturated with paper dust and black powder by the time they went home so their families also were exposed. And of course all of these jobs involve highly repetitive motions and have a strong potential for crippling health problems like carpal tunnel syndrome.

where is OSHA?

Safety third - or not at all.

The astonishing thing to me is the huge number of hand operations done on EACH individual firecracker - maybe 15 or 20? - and then people set them off in batches of thousands. Think of how many hand operations there were in that rippling bang - whoosh, gone in a few seconds. A minute might gobble up a million individual hand motions.

The channel name, people.

Some departments in this factory look like a single spark is all that needed to have a new space station.

They all dressed in their suits to goto work in the fireworks factory !

If I had to do this for a living, doing the same monotonous thing all day, every day I'd go nuts.

Every time I open one of those little red packs of firecrackers I’ll think of this video. Amazing stuff. Now I understand why the world needs 1.5 billion Chinese.

[@frankgordon8829]

I think I'd go crazy working at any of those stations all day...all week.

Being a pyro at 8 years old , now 75, I really enjoyed your Documentary...thanks....zoom zoom zoom an' a boom boom....

My compliments to the editor for not yielding to the pressure for an MTV-like montage of jump cuts, and for allowing the hypnotic oscillations of the machines to rhythmically fill the video canvas uninterrupted.

[@texasslingleadsomtingwong8751]

Unchanged art from 200 plus years or more . Incredible

[@Clunk49]

I enjoy firecrackers beginning when I was an adolescent up to today. The paper wrapping and brightly colored labels still amaze me. A sincere thanks to the makers of these fireworks and to the editor for presenting this video with only the actual sounds at the facilities and not stupid music.

[@Okraknife]

I'm impressed at the amount of hand work that goes into these.

[@henrychubbs2823]

Excellent narration-informative, clear and slow enough to understand easily.

[@aadnitraat]

Now I got even more respect for chinese fireworks! 💪💪💪💥💫💥👏👏

[@travishaynes1180]

Watching these women reminds me of every factory line I've worked on and how the bosses want human robots. It's not normal /natural to work like that and it's all the result of one or just a few peoples greed !! Period. I revile the entire system that supports or encourages it !!
