Hello, friends! Today is a very special day for all of us in China — it's National Day! On this day, we celebrate the founding of the People’s Republic of China. It’s a time to feel proud and happy about our great country.

In 1949, Chairman Mao Zedong announced the establishment of the People’s Republic of China on October 1st. Since then, every year, people across China gather together to celebrate this important occasion. You can see flags everywhere, and many cities have big parades, fireworks, and parties.

One of the most famous landmarks during National Day is Tiananmen Square in Beijing. There, you can see a huge national flag-raising ceremony that attracts lots of tourists from all over the world. It’s an amazing sight to watch as the sun rises and the flag goes up.

During this holiday, families often travel together or visit relatives. Many people enjoy eating traditional Chinese food like dumplings (jiaozi) or mooncakes. Some also take part in cultural activities like watching dragon dances or enjoying lantern shows.

Remember, National Day isn’t just about having fun; it’s also a time to reflect on how far China has come and think about the future. Let’s all work hard to make our country even better!

Happy National Day, everyone!
