Every year on October 1st, China welcomes its National Day—a grand holiday that marks the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949. For the Chinese people, this day is not just a week-long break (a common holiday tradition here), but a time to honor the country's journey, celebrate its achievements, and cherish national unity.
If you visit China during this period, you’ll feel the festive spirit everywhere. The most striking sight is the sea of red: streets are decorated with bright red national flags, and public spaces like Tiananmen Square in Beijing are adorned with huge flower arrangements (often in the shape of "10.1" or symbolic patterns like doves, representing peace). Parks and scenic spots also hold special events—from folk music performances to light shows—that showcase China’s culture and modern development.
Many families take this holiday to travel, exploring different parts of the country: some visit ancient cities like Xi’an to feel history, while others go to modern metropolises like Shanghai to see skyscrapers lit up in festive colors. Even at home, people gather to watch national parades (held on important anniversary years) or enjoy family meals, talking about how their lives have improved with the country’s growth.
More than just celebrations, National Day is a reminder of China’s values: unity, hard work, and hope for the future. It’s a day when people from all walks of life—whether in cities or villages, young or old—feel proud of their country’s progress and look forward to a better tomorrow.
To all who celebrate, Happy National Day!
