The Chinese people celebrated the National Day of the People's Republic of China with pride and passion Friday as the world's most populous nation has become the second-largest economy after 61 years of development.
China, which sent a man into space in 2003 and has become the third nation on earth with the capabilities of doing so, is set to launch its second lunar probe, Chang'e II, Friday.
In downtown Beijing, more than 150,000 people -- many wearing traditional costumes of different ethnic groups -- from across the country gathered at the Tian'anmen Square, the heart of Beijing, to watch a grand national flag raising ceremony early Friday.
Chinese President Hu Jintao, Premier Wen Jiabao and other leaders laid flower baskets at the Monument to the People's Heroes on the square Friday to pay their respects to those who sacrificed for the nation's independence.
In Shanghai, the China National Pavilion Day was celebrated at the World Expo, bringing the global event to a climax. Top Chinese legislator Wu Bangguo addressed the celebration ceremony.
Many other Chinese cities also organized flag raising functions to mark the National Day Friday, also the first day of the "Golden Week" of the National Day Holiday with millions of people on the move for travels or family reunions.

Yang Peiyi sings 'Ode to Motherland'. She is a big star in China now
============================
Five Star Red Flags are fluttering in the wind,
How clear and bright are the sounds of victory songs;
Singing for our dear motherland,
from now step towards prosperity and strength.
Across the mountains, across the plains,
Over the turbulent Yellow and Yangtze rivers;
This vast and beautiful land,
is our dear homeland;
We love peace, we love our homeland,
Our unity and fraternity is as strong as steel.

Peoples Republic of China National Day on October 1, 2010
September 30, 2010, 4:56pm
MANILA, Philippines Today (Friday) is the 61st Anniversary of the founding of the Peoples Republic of China (PRoC).
The PRoC was founded on October 1, 1949, with a ceremony at Tiananmen Square. The Central Peoples Government passed the Resolution on the National Day of the Peoples Republic of China on December 2, 1949, and declared that October 1 is the National Day, which marks the start of one of the two Golden Weeks in the PRC.
The National Day is celebrated throughout China with a variety of government-organized festivities, including fireworks and concerts. Public places such as Tiananmen Square in Beijing are decorated in a festive theme. Portraits of revered leaders are publicly displayed.
The Philippines and China established diplomatic relations on June 9, 1975, with the signing of the Joint Communiqué by leaders of the two countries. Since then, bilateral relations between China and the Philippines have been active and cordial. This is evidenced by the continuity of high-level contacts and exchanges for the past several years.
Bilateral trade between China and the Philippines continues to increase and will expand further, especially in investment relations and trade diversification, as well as business-to-business linkages. This was the assessment made by Philippine Embassy in Beijing after trade figures from the General Administration of Customs of China (GACC) showed that bilateral trade between the Philippines and China has increased by 52.6 percent to US$13.1 billion in the first half of 2010 over the same period last year. Top exports of the Philippines to China as of June 2010, were electrical machinery and equipment, mechanical appliances, ores, copper, minerals, plastics, and electronic goods. Chinas top exports to the Philippines were electrical machinery and equipment, mechanical appliances, iron and steel, minerals, and clothing accessories.
We congratulate the people and government of the Peoples Republic of China led by H.E., President Hu Jintao, and its Embassy in the Philippines headed by H.E., Ambassador Liu Jianchao, on the occasion of their National Day. We wish them all the best and success in all their endeavors.

March of the volunteers.
This is an epic image.
Arise! All who refuse to be slaves!
Let our flesh and blood forge into our new Great Wall!
As the Chinese people faces its greatest peril,
Every person's forced to expend their very last cry.
Arise! Arise! Arise!
Million hearts beat as one,
Brave the enemy's fire, March on!
Brave the enemy's fire, March on!
March on! March on! On!
Written and composed in 1930s when China was under the Japanese invasion and civil war. Musician Nie Er composed its music just few months before he drowned in Japan when en-route to Soviet Union; the poet Tian Han wrote the lyrics on the back of a cigarette paper when he was jailed by the KMT, and he later died during the cultural revolution under the CCP rule.
It is a constant reminder to all the Chinese not to forget these dark chapters of our history and the mistakes that we all made, more importantly it warns us that we should never, never be weak again.
