Features: Mao Zedong, the son of a farmer, in simple cotton clothes, entered the capital. He gazed at the magnificent Golden Hall with red walls and golden tiles, and told Zhou Enlai, "We will also build a luxurious 'living room' for the people!" Zhou Enlai readily accepted the task. Li Ruihuan, Zhang Baifa, and others, with their skillful hands, crafted the grandeur of the Great Hall of the People. Thus, the Great Hall of the People has walked through nearly half a century of wind and rain alongside the new China, witnessing the achievements and trials of leaders and the people here.
