Features: The Great Cleaning of Zhongnanhai, Major Renovation of Fragrant Hills Park, the Twin Clear Villas welcome new owners. The People's Republic is born with 28 cannon salutes. Beiping becomes Beijing, the imperial capital becomes the national capital. The ancient city of Tianjin radiates youthful charm; the historic capital of Beiping turns to a new page; the Red Flag is planted on the "Presidential Palace," and the dragon-and-tiger-entangled ten-dynasty metropolis begins a historic upheaval. The army occupies Xi'an, and the ancient city celebrates with great joy; the bustling and noisy Shanghai, with the Military Control Commission playing a series of (takeover marches), becomes the battleground where justice confronts evil, where light battles darkness. Here lie secrets unknown to many, and here unfold earth-shaking human legends.
