This print captures a vibrant moment in Liverpool's Chinese community as they joyously welcomed the Year of the Snake with traditional celebrations. Despite the rain pouring down, dedicated spectators gathered in Chinatown, Liverpool, Merseyside on 18th February 1977 to witness this enchanting ceremony. The image showcases the rich culture and deep-rooted traditions of Liverpools' Chinese community during the 1970s. The crowded streets are filled with people from all walks of life, united by their shared enthusiasm for this auspicious occasion. The atmosphere is electric as cymbals clash together, creating a symphony of sound that reverberates through the air. Intricate dragon costumes dance through the streets, accompanied by performers who skillfully manipulate colorful ribbons and flags. This display of entertainment captivates both young and old alike, immersing them in an unforgettable experience that celebrates their ethnic heritage. Religion plays an essential role in these festivities as well; devotees can be seen offering prayers at ornate temples adorned with intricate designs. These acts of devotion reflect a deep connection to spiritual beliefs passed down through generations. Wright's photograph encapsulates not only a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to the resilience and unity found within Liverpool's Chinese community.
