So Many People Came to Watch the Flag-Tasing Ceremony - That Really Surprised Me!

2021 Silk Road Rediscovery Tour of Beijing: A Centurial Journey of Progress, hosted by the Information Office of Beijing Municipality and organized by the CRI Online of China Media Group, was held from June 6 to 11. South Korean vlogger Jeong Hyo Jeong shared her feelings during the tour on social media platform, recording two things touched her deeply. One is watching flag-raising ceremony at Tiananmen Square. "I saw many people waiting on the square as I arrived. I was touched by their love for their homeland. So many people came to watch the flag-raising ceremony on such an ordinary day. That really surprised me. Their patriotic passion is really catching.”  The other thing is learning Chinese calligraphy from an 86-year-old man, whose optimistic attitude towards life deserves respect.
