The People’s Republic of China celebrated the 70th anniversary of its founding in October last year. China held its largest military parade (阅兵仪式) in Tian’anmen Square on October 1st. People from home and abroad watched the military parade through different ways. They were all surprised at China’s progress. Looking back at the past, the great changes have taken place in China.
In the past, most people lived a hard life. Many people died of wars and hunger. Generations (几代人) of the family ever lived in a very small house: Usually, children couldn't have their own rooms and the younger seldom had new clothes. During the 1960s to 1970s, China fell far behind because of many kinds of reasons.
However, in 1978, China started to carry out the reform and opening-up policy (政策). It was an important turning point for Chinese people. Since then, China has developed rapidly.
Now, people’s life is very different from that in the past. The country tries its best to help poor areas so that all Chinese people can live a good and happy life. China also pays great attention to compulsory (义务的) education. Everything is changing in a surprising way.
So we have very good reasons to believe China’s future will be better and better.

5 . The Communist Party of China (the CPC, 中国共产党) was founded (成立) in 1921. People around the city have held all kinds of activities to celebrate the 100th anniversary (纪念日).
In the City Art Museum, citizens (市民) show great interest in hundreds of paintings about the history of the CPC. The art show has 3 themes about the CPC. Some paintings describe Chinese people’s poor and painful lives in the past. Some show that the CPC overcame difficulties and led Chinese to build the People’s Republic of China (中华人民共和国). Others tell citizens about great changes that have taken place in China in the last 100 years. Seeing these paintings, a lot of citizens have a better understanding of the CPC and feel lucky to live in new China. Li Hua enjoys all the paintings and says, “It’s amazing that China has progressed in such a rapid way.”
Besides the painting show, a speech competition gets tons of attention. Tangtang takes part in it. He says that the CPC has given him a lot of chances to achieve his China dream—to become an excellent writer. As a party member, he makes an effort to serve people without thinking about himself. He often sends books to the children in the mountain villages. He also writes a lot of beautiful poems about our country. He thinks these poems are his best gifts to the 100th anniversary.
