October 1, 2021, the 72nd anniversary of China's National Day.

National Day Introduction:

October 1st is China's National Day. Why is this day designated as the National Day? After more than a hundred years of heroic struggle, the Chinese people have won the great victory of the people's revolution under the leadership of the Communist Party of China. The announcement of the founding of the People’s Republic of China on October 1, 1949 was the greatest change in Chinese history.

At 3 pm on October 1, 1949, 300,000 people in Beijing held a grand ceremony in Tiananmen Square to celebrate the establishment of the Central People’s Government of the People’s Republic of China. Chairman Mao Zedong solemnly declared the founding of the People's Republic of China and the Central People's Government, and personally raised the first five-star red flag. Chairman Mao read the "Announcement of the Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China": "The Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China is the only legal government representing the people of the People's Republic of China. Any foreign government willing to observe the principles of equality, mutual benefit and mutual respect for territorial sovereignty , This government is willing to establish diplomatic relations with it." Then a military parade and mass demonstrations were held. Commander-in-chief Zhu De inspected the navy, land and air force, and announced the "Chinese People's Liberation Army Headquarters Order", ordering the Chinese People's Liberation Army to quickly eliminate all remaining Kuomintang armed forces and liberate all unliberated land. On the same day, Beijing Xinhua Broadcasting Station conducted a live broadcast of the Founding Ceremony of the People's Republic of China in Tiananmen Square. This is the first large-scale live broadcast in the history of Chinese People's Broadcasting, which was broadcast simultaneously by People's Broadcasting Stations across the country.

On December 2, 1949, the Central People's Government passed the "Resolution on the National Day of the People's Republic of China", which stipulated that October 1 of each year was the National Day and used this day as the day for proclaiming the founding of the People's Republic of China. Since 1950, October 1st has been a grand celebration for the people of all ethnic groups in China.
