On October 1, 1949, the Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China was established and a ceremony was held in the capital, Beijing. Participating in the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China were the Chairman, Vice Chairman, and members of the Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China, all representatives of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, workers, farmers, school teachers and students, government agency staff, urban defense troops, and total number of people. Up to 300,000 people. There were also foreign guests on the viewing platform. The venue is Tiananmen Square. The square is T-shaped. To the north of the T-shaped cross is a river, with five white stone bridges erected side by side; to the north is the city wall, with the Tiananmen tower towering high in the center of the city wall. The T-shaped one extends straight south to the Zhonghua Gate. To the south of the intersection of horizontal and vertical, an electric flagpole stands in the field. The rostrum is located on the Tiananmen Gate Tower. Under the eaves of the city tower, eight red palace lanterns hang on both sides. Leaning against the stone railings on the left and right sides of the tower, eight red flags fluttered in the wind. The T-shaped square gathered people from all directions. Starting at six o'clock in the morning, a procession of people arrived. Some people were holding red flags and some were holding red lights. After entering the venue, line up according to the prescribed location. Among the workers were railway workers from as far away as Changxindian, Fengtai and Tongxian. They arrived at Beijing Station early in the morning and went straight to the venue as soon as they got off the train. The farmers in the suburbs got up in the dark at midnight and walked forty or fifty miles to get here. By noon, Tiananmen Square had become a sea of ??people, and the red flag was fluttering like waves on the sea. At three o'clock in the afternoon, a burst of applause broke out at the venue. Mao Zedong, Chairman of the Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China, appeared on the rostrum and met the crowd. The eyes of 300,000 people turned to the rostrum. Lin Boqu, Secretary-General of the Central People's Government, announced the start of the ceremony. The Chairman, Vice Chairman and members of the Central People's Government took their seats. The band played the "March of the Volunteers", the national anthem of the Republic of China. It was this sound of fighting that once inspired the Chinese people to fight for the birth of New China. Then, Chairman Mao Zedong announced: "The Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China was established today!" This solemn declaration and this majestic voice made the 300,000 people in the audience cheer together. This solemn declaration and this majestic voice were broadcast by radio to both inside and outside the Great Wall, and to the north and south of the Yangtze River, making the hearts of the entire Chinese people jump for joy. Then, raise the national flag. Chairman Mao personally pressed the button connected to the electric flagpole, and the five-star red flag, the national flag of New China, slowly rose. 300,000 people took off their hats and stood in silence, raising their heads together to admire the bright red national flag. The five-star red flag is raised, indicating that the Chinese people have stood up. When the flag was raised, the salute sounded. Each shot was a salvo of 54 cannons, 28 shots per gun. At first, the whole place was silent, only the sound of cannons and the sound of the national flag and many flags waving were heard. Later, after every cannon shot, the whole place burst into thunderous applause. Then, Chairman Mao read out the announcement of the Central People's Government amidst bursts of applause from the masses. He used a powerful tone to send the voice of New China to the whole world. When he read the sentence "Mao Zedong was elected Chairman of the Central People's Government," the people in the square's love for the leader merged into a burst of warm cheers. There was a burst of applause at the same time on the viewing platform. Chairman Mao finished reading the announcement and the military parade began. Commander-in-Chief Zhu De of the Chinese People's Liberation Army served as the review commander, and General Nie Rongzhen served as the commander-in-chief of the parade. Commander-in-Chief Zhu and General Nie rode in a car together to review the troops. Then Commander-in-Chief Zhu returned to the rostrum and read out the order from the headquarters of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. The troops under review were led by General Nie and slowly entered the field from east to west to the sound of the "March of the Chinese People's Liberation Army". At the beginning, there are two platoons of the Navy, with snow-white hats and blue uniforms the same color as the ocean. Then came a division of infantry, with companies as units, forming a square formation and marching in unison. Then came an artillery division, field artillery, mountain artillery, howitzers, rocket launchers, and all kinds of artillery, all arranged in a straight line and advancing forward. Then came a tank division, with various armored vehicles and tanks advancing neatly in two or three rows; the soldiers stood on the tanks with their chests held out, like steel giants. Then came a cavalry division. The "Red Horse Company" had red horses, and the "White Horse Company" had white horses. The five horses were running in parallel, and the movements of the horse's legs were exactly the same. The above troops all passed in front of the rostrum at the same distance and at the same speed. When the chariot troops passed by, the planes of the People's Air Force also flew across the sky in a herringbone formation. Chairman Mao first waved into the air.
When the crowd saw it, they threw their hats, newspapers and other things into the sky, and their cheers drowned out the rumble of the plane. During the two-and-a-half-hour review, the square kept cheering and applauding, one climax after another. The crowd's voices were almost hoarse from shouting, their palms were numb from clapping, and they still felt that they could not express the joy and flow in their hearts. The military parade was over and it was already evening. All the lanterns and torches in Tiananmen Square were lit, and 10,000 fireworks shot into the sky one after another. Colorful sparks formed in the sky, and thousands of lights on the ground turned red. The mass demonstration began at this time. The parade set off in two directions: east and west. They held lights, danced with torches, and shouted "Long live the Communist Party of China!" "Long live the Communist Party of China!" "Long live the Central People's Government!" Team after team walked in order and passed in front of the White Stone Bridge facing Tiananmen Square. They raised lanterns and torches and shouted loudly, "Long live Chairman Mao!" "Long live Chairman Mao!" Chairman Mao leaned forward in front of the rostrum on the tower. He kept waving to the crowd and shouting "Long live the people!" "Long live the comrades!" At 9:30 in the evening, the parade completely walked out of the venue. The two "red streams" flowed separately to the streets of Dongcheng and Xicheng, filling the entire city of Beijing with light.
