3. October 1 is China's National Day 国庆节, which is the 4th of July for China. This year it's a big deal because it's the 70th anniversary of when the government was founded. There was a big parade in Beijing, and we all watched it on TV.

If you want to watch the whole entire thing, here's the youtube link. Basically the beginning was a military parade, with blocks of soldiers marching where they all lift their legs at the exact same time, and a bunch of military vehicles, and there was a speech from President Xi. Then part of the parade showing the culture of China, with people from a lot of minority ethnic groups, Olympic athletes, children singing happy birthday to China, and a bunch of floats representing each Chinese province. But most of it was the military parade. That went on and on and on.

Here are a few photos:
