Founding Ceremony of People's Republic of China
On October 1, 1949, a grand ceremony was witnessed by 300,000 people in Beijing's Tian'anmen Square, and Mao Zedong, chairman of the Central People's Government, solemnly proclaimed the founding of the People's Republic of China (P.R.C.).
During the initial post-Liberation period, the Chinese government successfully carried out land reform in areas accounting for over 90 percent of the total national agricultural population, and 300 million farmers were granted approximately 47 million hectares of land.
