At around 3 PM on October 1, 1949, amidst the solemn grandeur of the March of the Volunteers, the radiant five-starred red banner ascended steadily skyward at the inaugural ceremony of the People's Republic of China at the Tian'anmen Square in Beijing. From that day forward, the national anthem and the national flag have been the symbols of the People's Republic of China.

To celebrate the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Yangpu Culture and Tourism Administration, in collaboration with the Publicity Department of the CPC Rui'an Municipal Committee's, hosted the "Traces of the Flag" Tour Exhibition Marketing the 75th Anniversary of the Founding of the People's Republic of China. This commemorative event was organized by the Rui'an National Flag Education Museum and the National Anthem Gallery.

In September 1949, the 1st Plenary Session of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference adopted four important resolutions regarding the capital, national flag, national anthem and calendar era of the People's Republic of China. This exhibition, through a wealth of graphic and textual materials alongside valuable historical artifacts, traces the origin of the national flag, reviews the selection process of the national flag, and reminisces the glorious moment of the birth of the Republic.

The fluttering of each national flag is a testament to the indomitable spirit of the Chinese people; the playing of the national anthem each time is a profound homage to the nation's thriving prosperity.

With the resonant melodies of the national anthem and the lofty display of the national flag, we stand at a new starting point, embarking on a new journey. Everyone bears the sacred mission of revitalizing China and strives tirelessly for the realization of the Chinese Dream of national rejuvenation.
