The Significance of founding ceremony

China ushered in a new era in the history of China. China has ended its humiliating history of being invaded and enslaved for more than 0/00 years, and has truly become an independent country. Since then, the people of China have stood up and become the masters of the country.

The international community has strengthened the forces of world peace, democracy and socialism and inspired the liberation struggle of the oppressed nations and people in the world. It shows that China is finally an independent country, and the people of China can become descendants of dragons from the sick man of East Asia.

The establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC) ended the history of a few exploiters ruling the working people and the history of imperialism enslaving the people of all ethnic groups in China. Since then, the people of China have become the masters of their own country.

This is a great victory of Marxism in China, and a great victory of Mao Zedong Thought, which combines the basic principles of Marxism with the concrete practice of China revolution. The history of China has opened a new era.
