Flag－raising ceremonies mark China's National Day
National Day is commemorated every year by special flag－raising ceremonies, and this year was no exception. Crowds gathered at Tian'anmen Sqaure in Beijing early this morning for this year's event. It was part of the National Day celebrations for the 53rd birthday of the People's Republic of China. Our reporter Han Bin was among them and filed this report.
Marching out of the gate of Tian'anmen Sqaure, these guards of honor began their flag－raising ceremony at ten past six this morning. But this one was special, for China's National Day.
The national anthem echoed solemnly throughout the square as crowds peered up at the flag waving over the new day.
Some tourists had stayed in the square overnight in order to get the best spot to watch the flag go up in the morning. The symbolic ceremony has become a must for many travelers who come to Beijing. Visitor Zhang Xiaoping from northern China's Xinjiang province was among them.
Zhang Xiaoping said:" The living standard of our lives has been better. I think it's our common wishes for a more developed country."
Many travelers took pictures to preserve a sweet memory. The Zhang family from central China's Hubei province has brought their son to see the ceremony. They told us that they hope the event will help their son love the motherland, and be proud of being a Chinese.
The national flag was first raised over Tian'anmen Square in 1949, marking the birth of New China. And it has been repeated every day since then. The ceremony still attracts the interest of millions of people each year. Although the flag has meant different things to different people, it now rises over a more confident and prosperous country.
