Fireworks
I can still remember when I was a kid, there were numerous people firing fireworks in Chinese New Year. It was a magnificent view. You can call it an anti-air operation if dramatically. Yet, hardly do someone fire fireworks these years, since— I don't know how it is going on other cities though—firing fireworks is banned in urban area nominally in my city. I find the New Year losing its "sense" increasingly.
Usually, "firework" is the large scale ones that burst in the sky in public knowledge, but I have had a small kind that can be handled by your single hand, which fires several rounds. It's like a RPG or some kind of magic stick, shooting wherever you aim. But the next year I cannot find even a single place where sold this kind. Hellos are goodbyes.
我还记得我小的时候，农历新年总是有很多人在放烟花，场面极其壮观。夸张点说的话，都可以说是在防空了。不过这几年几乎没什么人放炮了，不知道其他地方具体怎么样，我们这里是名义上禁止燃放烟花爆竹了。所以感觉新年越来越没年味了。
通常，大家认知里的烟花应该是那种在天上爆开的、大型的烟花，但是我玩过一种可以手持烟花筒发射的，还能打好多轮。就像RPG或者什么魔杖一样，指哪打哪。但是第二年我就找不到卖这种烟花的地方了。初见即诀别。

It just sounds better to say "setting off" fireworks.
It was a magnificent view.
You can call it an anti-air operation if, to be dramatically.
Yet, hardly do someone fireanyone sets off fireworks these years, since— I don't know how it is going on other cities though—firing fireworks is banned in urban area nominally in my ever since it was banned in urban areas of my city. I don't know how it is in other cityies.
I find that the New Year increasingly losing its "sense" incrmeasningly".
"I find that" usually goes together when expressing opinion.
Usually, a "firework" is the large -scale ones that burst in the sky in public knowledgeand are seen publicly, but I have had a small kind that can be handled by your singleeld in your hand, which fires several rounds.
"ones" is OK, I think it's understood. However, I would point out that "ones" refers to "fireworks" and "fireworks" refers to "ones. It's somewhat of a circular sentence and might be better to say:
"Usually, a "firework" is a large burst of fire in the sky which everyone can see."
It's like a RPG or some kind of magic stick, shooting wherever you aim.
RPG is a humorously specific way to say this. It made me laugh.
But the nextfollowing year I canould not find even a single place wherethat sold this kind.
Hellos are goodbyes.
I'm not sure if you are trying to say goodbye or if you intended to write something poetic here.

Haha, I do tried to write something poetic. It's kind of embarrassing to be point out. And the reason I use "ones" is that I thought it could avoid the situation of using "fireworks" twice in a sentence. Anyway, thank you for your corrections!
I have a question, why is the "that" connects to place instead of "where"?

Yet, hardly do someone firepeople have hardly done any fireworks these past few years, since— - though I don't know how it is going on other cities though— - firing fireworks is banned in urban area nominally within my city.
I find that the New Year is increasingly losing its "sense" increasingly.

This sentence has no errors, but it is a bit confusing.
Feedback
This is a well-written paragraph, and an interesting subject. Hopefully next year the fireworks situation will improve for you!

Thank you for your corrections and wish!
By "hellos are goodbyes" I mean me and the firework only met once a lifetime. So the first time I use it is also the last time. Thus, the "hellos are goodbye". But after twice thought, it should better change into "hello is goodbye". And by "public knowledge" I mean "common awareness", and by "the next year" I mean the year after the year I used the firework. I don't know if those are appropriate.
And two more questions. Why is "which fires several rounds" should add an "and" in the front? And I thought the word "place" should be linked with word "where", isn't it that way?
Thank you very much!

I will try to answer these as best as I can, but I admit that I only really know English instinctively, and I can't explain things as well as a trained English teacher could.
1. "Hellos are goodbyes" --> I like your explanation, but I guess this is not immediately obvious to an English speaker. If you wanted to use it, you'd probably have to explain it beforehand as you just explained it in your comment.
2. I now understand what you mean with public knowledge, but I think the clearer way to phrase that would be "what most people think of when they think of X".
Example --> Usually, "fireworks" refers to the large ones that most people would think of when they think of fireworks, the ones that burst into an enormous explosion in the sky.
3. I think the confusion with "the next year" was my mistake, but you would still need to use "could" --> But the next year I could not find even a single place that sold this kind.
Even better would be "the following year", to make it even clearer that it was the year directly after.
4. I'm not sure really why it's that and not where. But I found a video that explains it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzzT6C2gPH4
It seems to because the place it doing something, ie. selling fireworks, rather than just being a place you are at/going to/existing in.
Keep up the excellent writing - practice makes progress!

@curious_owl, now I understand it more clearly, and I will check the video, thank you!
