  I think in the early 80s, fighting kite season was still alive. The boys would make their own glass strings and used it to fly their fighting kites. They would try to cut each other glass strings while flying their fighting kites in the air. And when one of the player's glass strings got cut and his fighting kite got loose in the air, the boys and sometimes the girls watching the kite fighting below would wait for one of the kite to break loose and they would chase the loose kite with sticks or bamboos to catch the loose kite. Whomever got hold of that loose kite first, it would belong to him or her. The fun part was chasing after those loose kites and also using glass strings to fly your kite in the air and fought the other players kite like a pilot in the dogfight in the air. This childhood kite game was very popular in the 60s, 70s and until early 80s...then it faded away.
