The accident happened at about 4 pm at Dafuzhuang Village, Runan County when the two-storey building used to store the firecrackers was flattened, a county government spokesman said.

The workshop belonged to a villager named Wang Changhai, who was a migrant worker in the city and just back home to produce the firecrackers. He was expected to sell the firecrackers during the Spring Festival, which falls on February 14 next year, the most important day in China for family reunion when people often set off firecrackers for celebration.

"The glass door in my living room was smashed and the pendant lamp fell off to the floor," said a neighbor of Wang's.

The injured was receiving treatment at the Runan County People's Hospital. The cause of the accident is being investigated.
