The grand ceremony at Tian'anmen Square to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the People's Republic of China Thursday was unprecedented in a number of ways. A giant portrait of President Hu Jintao appeared for the first time at Tian'anmen Square. The number of female PLA soldiers in the march-past reached 387, the largest contingent in the modern world military review history. And foreigners took part in the National Day parade for the first time since 1949. |
