My hometown is in northeast China where the winter is very long-almost five to six months. Playing the shuttlecock outside was the main game in winter. Because I liked to play this kind of game very much, the shuttlecock became my good friend who was always around me in the long winter.How the game was playedActually, this game was very simple.

Then we had a match to see which team could keep playing for a long time(usually we counted the number of the kicks). The team that could keep playing much longer would win.How I made the shuttlecocksIt was easy to make them by hand. At that time, I really didnt know where I could buy a shuttlecock. Therefore, I always made them by hand and by myself(I didnt realize that they mightbe a kind of folk art, so I threw all of them away when I left the primary school)I used chicken feathers to make the shuttlecock. Particularly, I preferred to use rooster feathers because of their colors. Sometimes, I also used some thread, which was made of hemp, flax, or some similar thingsto make the shuttlecock, if I didnt find chicken feathers.For the small metal base, I usually chose two or three ancient Chinese coins with a hole in the middle. I just put the chicken feathers into the hole of the base, and then tied them together very well.28. What can we know about the writer?A. It is warm in her hometown in winterB.
