Chapter 67 Celebration

Last night, I was in front of the Great Hall of the People, above the granite steps, the brightly lit magnolia lanterns were reflected beside the towering blue and white stone pillars, when I suddenly saw a black friend!With his hands in his trouser pockets, he stared at Tiananmen Square. He wore a white shirt with an open collar, and his white teeth showed in a smile. His face was full of joy and enthusiasm of hope.This bronze-like symbol of bravery and majesty, confidence and hope stands before the background of the tower painted with golden light and illuminated by the red star on the top, leaving a glorious and eternal image in my mind. Indelible impression.

This bronze image proves to me that the National Day, the tenth year since the founding of our country, is not only a festival for the Chinese people to rejoice, but also a festival for peace-loving and progressive people all over the world! The head of a delegation from a friendly country said it well: "Today the whole world is looking at Beijing: the people of the fraternal socialist countries are full of joy and pride, and the people who are still oppressed are full of hope and confidence. But the imperialists are full of hatred and despair." These words really sum up China's glorious achievements in the past ten years, and everything reflected in different camps in the world!

We go to the airport and station every day to meet our brothers and friends who have come from afar. When they get off the plane and train, we are overjoyed. They look at our beautiful station and airport with amazed eyes and congratulate them Looking at each of us, they held the bouquets they had received in the crook of their left arms, held our hands tightly with their right hands, and said, "Our dream has come true!" A friend from Baghdad, the birthplace of this story, enthusiastically said that when he was young, he knew about China and Beijing geographically from elementary school. He once dreamed of coming to this country. "Today, this dream has come true. Now, I have another dream, that is, the whole world will become a world truly owned by the people." This is also broken in one sentence!

There are many people in the world who have been to, heard about, or read about China and Beijing: there are majestic Great Walls, majestic palaces, exquisite porcelain, beautiful silk,... But ten years ago, here What's more, there are miserable people, flooded or cracked barren fields, crumbling city walls and palaces, dirty and small streets... and imperialists are rampant and oppressive in this backward and dark land... Today, these friends who dream of coming to China, or friends who revisit China, have arrived in China and Beijing. What he sees are not haggard and haggard people, but radiant and energetic people. What he sees is not desolation. The Tiananmen Square is full of smoky grass, broken sills and old windows, but it is resplendent and magnificent, with new and tall buildings on both sides, and Tiananmen Square with a 44-hectare square!

The Great Wall is more majestic, the palace is more majestic, the porcelain is more delicate, and the silk is more beautiful... How can they not be overjoyed?How can we not come to the conclusion firmly after thinking about it calmly: only when the people truly become their own masters, will they have soaring energy and incomparable enthusiasm to quickly build their country into the splendid and splendid appearance it is today ! They rejoiced, and they sincerely expressed to us: Our achievements are their achievements, and our victory is their victory.They carried back with them a glorious image of our victorious achievements, an image that will forever give them hope and encouragement during their arduous and long years of struggle.

We are also eternally grateful to our brothers and friends. Over the past ten years, we have received fraternal assistance from socialist countries, and we have also received the sympathy and support of all peace-loving, democratic and progressive people in the world.In our own grand festival, we sincerely wish our friends and brothers, in the clear autumn sunshine, see everything we have worked hard for ten years: our army, the incomparably strong fighters who defend the peace; our workers Peasants are a team that works hard for world peace and human progress under the clarion call of "the east wind prevails over the west wind". We are willing to work together with you to realize the same dream and make "the whole world a truly owned by the people". world"!

Let the imperialist desperately howl his hatred and curses in the dark and fetid corners!Let us all hold hands and shout out in unison: Long live the People's Republic of China Long live the great unity of the world people Long live world peace Long live September 29, 1959.
