Beijing's Xishan Unknown Heroes Memorial Square was exceptionally clean after being washed by the rain of the previous day and the strong wind at night. The bright sunlight sprinkled on the square, against the blue sky and white clouds, was awe-inspiring. On the red carpet in front of the statue of the martyrs, five huge flower baskets were presented by people from all walks of life to express their reverence for the martyrs.
Present at the event were Hua Kefang, Tong Xiaoguo, Luo Yuan, Jia Xueyang, and Shen Weiping; Liu Yufang, Xu Yunchu, and Wang Shengguang, representatives of the descendants of heroic martyrs and their families who died in Taiwan for the reunification of the motherland in the middle of the last century; post-martyr Zhao Peng of the hidden front; Luo Zhen, Liu Qian, Xiong Lei, Yan Yilan, Liu Wenshan, Xiao Nanxi, and Zhen Zhongxue, secretary of the Beijing Transportation Vocational College, and teachers and students of the Beijing Transportation Vocational College.

At 9:59 a.m., Dongfanghong's music sounded. At ten o'clock, the bright five-star red flag of the People's Republic of China was raised along with the majestic national anthem of the People's Republic of China. This is a temporary national flag erected for this event, and all the staff stand solemnly to salute.
