TOPSHOT - This photo taken on February 18, 2019 shows a Chinese blacksmith (L) throwing molten metal against a cold stone wall to create a shower of sparks, on the eve of the Lantern Festival, which marks the end of Lunar New Year celebrations, in Nuanquan, in China's northern Hebei province. - For the performance, known as the Da Shuhua (Beating the Flower Tree), scraps of metal are heated to shockingly scorching temperatures, and poured into a bucket where performers like Wang create mesmerising spectacles of light when tossed against the cold wall.
