On the morning of October 1, 2025, China's National Day, the national flag was raised and the anthem played in Tiananmen Square, Beijing. This year, the ceremony carries special weight. It was here that China held a grand military parade to honor the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War. And the story of how China's national anthem came to be is deeply intertwined with that history. #GoldenWeek #China
