The KMT\, led by Chiang Kai-shek (蒋介石)\, retreated to Taiwan in 1949. \nOn October 1\, 1949\, Chairman Mao Zedong stood on Tiananmen Gate (天安门) in Beijing and declared the official establishment of the People's Republic of China (中华人民共和国). \nOn December 2\, 1949\, the Chinese Central Government officially designated October 1st as National Day. In 1950\, the first National Day parade and public celebrations were held in Beijing. \nIn early years (1950–1959)\, National Day was a highly political event\, promoting Communist ideals. The government organized mass parades and public rallies. \nDuring Mao's Cultural Revolution (1966–1976)\, National Day celebrations became simpler and more ideological. The focus was on political loyalty and revolutionary propaganda rather than grand celebrations. \nAfter Deng Xiaoping launched China's economic reforms in 1978\, National Day celebrations became more focused on economic achievements and modernization. In 1984\, the government held its first large-scale military parade since 1959. \nIn 1999\, the government introduced the National Day Golden Week (国庆黄金周)\, a seven-day holiday to boost tourism and economic activity. National Day became one of China's longest public holidays\, encouraging domestic travel\, shopping\, and celebrations. \n \nWhat Do People Do on This Day?\nFlag-raising ceremony held at sunrise at Tiananmen Square\, Beijing. Thousands of people gather to watch the national flag being raised by People's Liberation Army (PLA) honor guards. This is one of the most solemn and patriotic moments of the day. \nA massive military parade is held in Beijing's Tiananmen Square every 5 or 10 years (e.g.\, 1999\, 2009\, 2019). Government leaders\, including the President of China\, oversee the parade and give a speech. Spectacular fireworks displays take place in major cities. \nNational Day is part of China's Golden Week (October 1-7)\, a seven-day public holiday. Millions of people travel across the country or visit family\, and it is one of the busiest travel periods of the year. \nStreets and buildings are decorated with Chinese national flags. Tiananmen Square and major landmarks display large floral arrangements with patriotic themes. \nMany businesses offer major discounts\, similar to Black Friday in the United States. Hong Kong and Macau also celebrate China's National Day. \nMore about Mao Zedong\nMao Zedong (1893–1976) was the founding leader of the People's Republic of China (PRC) and served as the Chairman of the Communist Party of China (CPC) from 1943 until his death in 1976. He was a revolutionary and political leader who shaped modern China through his ideology and policies. \nHe was born on December 26\, 1893\, in Shaoshan\, Hunan Province\, China. Raised in a peasant family but received an education. \nIn 1919\, he moved to Beijing and Shanghai\, working at Peking University and engaging in communist activities. In 1921\, he co-founded the Communist Party of China (CPC) in Shanghai. In 1927\, he led the Autumn Harvest Uprising but the uprising failed\, which resulted in the CPC retreating to rural areas. \nIn 1934\, after CPC defeats by the Nationalist Party (Kuomintang\, KMT)\, Mao led the Red Army on a 9\,000 km retreat known as The Long March\, and gained supreme leadership of the CPC during this time. \nIn 1949\, Mao's forces defeated the KMT\, leading to the KMT's retreat to Taiwan. \nOn October 1\, 1949\, Mao Zedong proclaimed the founding of the PRC at Tiananmen Square\, Beijing\, and he became the first Chairman of the PRC. \nIn 1976\, Mao died on September 9\, 1976\, in Beijing. After his death\, China began economic reforms under Deng Xiaoping\, moving away from Maoist policies. \nMao Zedong was a complex and controversial figure\, shaping modern China's identity through revolution. While he is credited with founding the PRC and unifying China\, his policies also led to economic failures and human suffering.

Unlike states with traditional Malay rulers (sultans)\, Sabah\, as a non-monarchical state\, has a Governor appointed by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong (King of Malaysia). \nThe Governor serves as the ceremonial head of state\, representing the unity of Sabah and ensuring its governance aligns with Malaysia's federal structure. \nThe Governor's role has evolved to symbolize unity and harmony among Sabah's diverse ethnic and religious communities. \nThe Governor's Birthday became an official holiday to celebrate the contributions of the Governor and highlight the importance of the office. \nAfter Malaysia's independence\, the celebration gained more prominence\, incorporating cultural and public activities to engage the people of Sabah. It became a public holiday to allow residents to participate in the festivities and honor the Governor's leadership. \nToday\, The Sabah Governor's Birthday has become more than a celebration of an individual's leadership. It is a symbol of Sabah's unique heritage and contributions to Malaysia as a whole. \n \nWhat Do People Do on This Day?\nOn the Sabah Governor's Birthday\, residents of Sabah participate in various formal ceremonies\, cultural events\, and community activities to honor the Yang di-Pertua Negeri and celebrate Sabah's unique heritage and progress. \nThe central event is held at Istana Negeri\, the Governor's official residence in Kota Kinabalu\, and the event includes the guard of honor parade\, the speech by the Governor\, and the award presentations. \nSpecial prayers are held in mosques across Sabah\, praying for the Governor's health\, the state's prosperity\, and harmony among its diverse communities. \nStreets\, public buildings and event venues are adorned with Sabah state flags and celebratory banners. \nTraditional dances and music of Sabah's indigenous dances are highlights of the day\, reflecting the state's rich cultural heritage. \nResidents come together for communal meals\, public talks and charity events to celebrate the occasion. \nFamilies use the public holiday to visit local attractions or attend community-organized celebrations. \nThe History of Sabah\nThe history of Sabah is shaped by its strategic location in northern Borneo\, its multicultural heritage\, and its integration into the Federation of Malaysia. Its story spans prehistoric human settlement\, maritime trade\, colonial rule\, and eventual independence. \nArchaeological evidence shows that Sabah has been inhabited for tens of thousands of years. \nIndigenous groups have lived in Sabah for centuries\, developing unique cultures\, languages and traditions. These communities were primarily agrarian and seafaring\, with rice farming and fishing as economic staples. \nSabah's location made it part of regional trade networks involving China\, India\, and the Malay Archipelago. \nIn the 16th century\, the Spanish and Dutch sought to control trade in the region\, but their influence in Sabah was limited compared to Brunei. \nThe British North Borneo Chartered Company (BNBCC) acquired rights to Sabah in the 1880s after agreements with the Sultanate of Sulu. \nDuring World War II\, Japan occupied Sabah\, bringing hardship to its people\, including forced labor and economic exploitation. \nAfter the war\, Sabah became a British Crown Colony in 1946\, marking the end of the British North Borneo Company's rule. \nIn the 1950s\, discussions began about the potential unification of Malaya\, Singapore\, Sabah\, and Sarawak into a single federation. \nSabah joined the Federation of Malaysia on September 16\, 1963\, alongside Sarawak\, Malaya\, and Singapore\, and retained significant autonomy in areas such as immigration\, language\, and religion.
