As golden sunlight bathed Beijing’s Tiananmen Square, thousands gathered at dawn to witness China’s 76th National Day flag-raising ceremony. The iconic Five-Starred Red Flag ascended to the March of the Volunteers anthem, symbolizing unity and pride for the nation’s journey since 1949.
Attendees cheered as military personnel marched in precision, their uniforms crisp against the autumn sky. 🌅 Local student Li Wei told us: "Seeing the flag rise with my family fills me with hope for our shared future." The event highlighted cultural heritage displays and youth-led performances blending tradition with modern tech – think drone light shows meets lion dances! 🦁✈️
