Harbin Ice Lantern Festival background;

1 963 February1day, on the eighth day of the first lunar month, Mayor Ren Heen visited Xiangfang District and inspected a newly-built free market (i.e. farmers' market). Walking out of the free market, Ren suddenly found an old lady squatting on the side of the road with a homemade ice lamp in front of her.

When Ren got home, he asked Eun, who lived next door, and the nearby party secretary to come and do the ice lamp experiment. On February 3rd, Zhang Ping, deputy mayor in charge, Liu Zuotian, deputy director of the Municipal Construction Bureau and other relevant leaders held an informal small-scale on-site work meeting at their home.

Ren put forward a bold idea and discussed with En, Lin Xiaobian and others: "Today is the tenth day of the first month, five days before the Lantern Festival, and the year has not passed yet. There is a flower show in Guangzhou, a flower market on New Year's Eve, and a Lantern Festival in the south. We have no flower market and lanterns in Harbin. On the fifteenth day of the first month, we can hold an ice lantern exhibition in Zhao Lin Park, which is called an ice lantern garden party. What do you think? "

Seeing the cadres reluctant to go, he described in detail what he saw and heard in Guangzhou Cultural Park, and the scene where he and En saw the old lady making a "poor stick lamp" in Xiangfang District, and showed the cadres present a long row of hollow ice tuo lampshades made by him, En, Lin Xiao and the children in the yard, and also explained in detail the freezing method of the ice lamp.

Finally, Ren issued a mobilization order: "We must make the ice lantern garden party a success, tell the people not to be cats in winter, and summon the strength of the masses to make Harbin no longer lonely in winter!"
