Features: Over 50 years ago, what was China really like? At the moment of the founding of the People's Republic of China, what was the scene on and off stage, and how did it resonate internally and externally? There are still many stories that people are still not very clear about today. All of these require historians to present a rich cultural feast to satisfy readers. It is precisely based on this need that we compiled the book "Decoding the Founding Ceremony of the People's Republic of China." "Decoding the Founding Ceremony of the People's Republic of China" takes the preparation and execution of the founding ceremony as its main thread, aiming to accurately record the different experiences and feelings of various strata of Chinese society before and after the founding, as well as the changes in people's mentality and the social environment at that time. Thus, it provides a panoramic portrayal of how the entire country experienced those unforgettable years. The book reconstructs the scenes of that time from the perspective of eyewitnesses, with vivid and lively content. The sources of the materials in the book are also diverse, including reports from various media around 1949, including some reports from foreign media; there are also the recollections and correspondence of the participants at different stages. The features of this book are: First, strong sense of the scene, detailed plots, and rich readability; Second, using firsthand accounts and historical documents as material, it has significant historical value; Third, the book reflects events with rich plots during the founding process, some of which reflect little-known stories; Fourth, the book embodies the characteristics of popularization and documentation, and is presented to a broad readership in an illustrated form. The book attempts to recreate, from some unique perspectives and angles, how the newly standing-up Chinese people were so full of passion for the new China that the Communist Party of China and its leaders wanted to establish, it was truly a trend of the times and the will of the people; and it attempts to explain from new angles that the "Socialist New China" was the historical choice of the Communist Party of China and the Chinese people.
