I am walking with New China
Liu Yaowei
That year, I was in the first grade of elementary w88 casino. On the w88 casino playground, I welcomed representatives of the People's Liberation Army to take over. The church’s Nantang Primary w88 casino became the Xuanwumen Primary w88 casino of the new society. Dongfanghong’s singing replaced the church’s gospel lament.
That year, I put on a red scarf and became the first batch of young pioneers in the capital. Standing on the side of Chang'an Street, waving the five-star red flag, cheering the parade as it rumbled past, celebrating the first birthday of New China.
That year was 1949, a year engraved in history and featured in big books. Peiping became Beijing, the earth was turned upside down, and the world was changed. From then on, at the age of seven, I walked with the Republic. Starting from the beginning, we have gone through seventy years of learning and growth, rapid development, staying together through thick and thin, and experiencing great changes.
I remember lining up in the classroom to send elementary w88 casino students’ change to the donation box for the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea.
I once remembered that on the playground of No. 6 Middle w88 casino, I lit a fire with the guards of Zhongnanhai, smelting steel for the Three Red Flags to surpass Britain and catch up with the United States.
I remember walking through Chang'an Street among the college students, waving flags and cheering for the successful test explosion of my country's first atomic bomb.
It is unforgettable that during the ten years of the Cultural Revolution, buildings were about to collapse and lives were in ruins. He became a stinky old man, went to the countryside, went to the workshop, wandered and confused, and suffered many hardships.
Unforgettable, the October storm turned the tide. At a historical juncture when everything was in ruins, we took down the Gang of Four, set things right, and ushered in the opportunity of reform and opening up.
It is unforgettable that in the forty years of reforming the road, we have climbed many mountains and trudged through dangerous shoals. On the glorious road of the new era, the sea is wide for fish to leap, the sky is open for birds to fly, everyone has dreams, and the country is developing. A prosperous, democratic, civilized and harmonious motherland stands on top of the world.
Seventy years is just a short moment in the five thousand years of Chinese civilization. However, the miraculous achievements created by the Republic have transcended ancient and modern times and will always be remembered as the iron scroll of human struggle.
Seventy years is more than half of my life. Fortunately, I am a drop of water in the tide of the times, integrated into the great river, rushing forward. I have experienced thousands of mountains and valleys, seen waves and flowers, and run towards the dreams and thoughts in my heart.
In the past seventy years, the Republic has deepened reform and opening up, embarked on a new journey, entered a new era, and stood at a new starting point in history. That is the eternal April day of the Republic. It is an infinitely better future and a bright tomorrow.
