The National Day exerts a peculiar fascination on most Chinese people. In order to celebrate the 60th ceremony of the National Day, the ministry of education in Jiangsu Province organized a glee club of 10000 people to sing "red songs", expressing our rising spirit of patriotism.
This campaign looms so large in every single corner, especially in the universities of Nanjing. Those songs, written in 1960s to 1980s, when China was liberated not so long and Chinese started to construct the country, can still be heard on this land now. You can deeply feel the resounding and encouraging notes if you ever experienced what happened then.
What is significant is not the songs themselves but the deep love and gratefulness of the 10000 singers to our country; it is inspiring that the Chinese people keep the history in mind, understanding their mission in this new age. As the diligent and wise Chinese people, we have the ambition to build a strong and prosperous new country.
