Happy Birthday China!

Happy Birthday to China (People's Republic of China) !!! It's a national day celebration and they will be having a week off!!! As far as I know, China doesn't always have holidays like we do in Malaysia, but whenever it's holiday, it's gonna be a long one for them.


Brief description of the China National Day:
The PRC was founded on October 1, 1949 with a ceremony at Tiananmen Square. The Central People's Government passed the Resolution on the National Day of the People's Republic of China on December 2, 1949 and declared that October 1 is the National Day.

The National Day marks the start of one of the two Golden Weeks in the PRC. The National Day is celebrated throughout mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau with a variety of government-organised festivities, including fireworks and concerts. Public places, such as Tiananmen Square in Beijing, are decorated in a festive theme. Portraits of revered leaders, such as Sun Yat-sen, are publicly displayed.
