It's a big dragonfly-shaped kite made from silk and split bamboo, which was a birthday gift from my grandpa, who's an artisan specailising in making handicrafts like paper cuttings, wood carvings, lanterns and kites. It used to be very hard to come by a decent toy when I was a kid, because my family was quite poor, so my my parents wouldn't give me money to buy expensive toys. The kite was the best toy I could ever get, so I was very excited and grateful when receiving the gift and I've cherished it very much. It was still kept in my wardrobe. It brings back old memories whenever I see it.
With the kite, I had chances to experience some interesting things, like taking part in kite-flying competitions during kite-flying festivals, and playing with the kite accompanied by my friends on the countryside road. I have to say it was a good companion more than a plaything to me in my childhood, and it is a really good traditional product, which involves many cultural heritage aspects and cultural deposits in my hometown.
I believe toys are an indispensable part of everyone's childhood, which not only give us joy and happiness without being bored and lonely, but also boost our intelligence and shape our character.
