Depois de uma edição em chinês surge agora uma versão em inglês do livro de Albert Lai sobre a história da indústria dos panchões na Taipa.
English version of The Firecracker Industry in Taipa. A book from Albert Lai (Lai Hung Kin), an old Taipa inhabitant.
Firecrackers were one of the three main handicraft industries and exports from Macau, alongside incense and matches in the 20th century.
The six major Macau firecracker factories were Kuong Heng Tai, Iec Long, Him Yuen, Kwong Yuen, Him Son and Po Sing.
Most of the firecracker manufacturers were at Taipa island. Kwong Hing Tai was onde of them and the biggest of six firecracker manufacturers in Taipa. Kwong Hing plant occupied one-fifth of the total land area of Taipa back then. During its peak this factory employed more than one-third of the population in its plant and produced three million firecrackers a day. Another important plant was Iec Long Firecracker Factory still stands. This factory operated from 1926 until its closure in 1984, and is the best preserved industrial heritage site in Macau.
The Macau Museum offers an exhibit showcasing the tools of the firecracker trade and offers visitors a glimpse of the environment where they were made. The exhibits also includes some of the many colourful firecracker packaging covers produced in Macau.
