National Day Pride in Beijing

200,000 people gathered in the Tiananmen Square early Sunday morning to observe the flag rising ceremony that was completed with the release of 10,000 doves into the sky, marking the 57th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. Some audience began waiting for the moment since 2 o’clock in the midnight.

But the occasion of pride did not go without some unpleasant incidents. Nearly 20,000 people lost contact from each other and had to seek emergency help for locating whereabouts of their family members. Most of them were parents looking for their children who simply wandered off from the group.
