Part 2: The New Year begins with thunder

After a half-century hiatus, in recent years, the New Year Thunder Ceremony has been regularly held by the O Du people in the village. The recognition of this ritual as a National Intangible Cultural Heritage has revived the unique cultural features of this small ethnic group that were once thought to be forgotten.
