When people in the west are celebrating Christmas Day on Dec. 25, time in the east has arrived on Dec. 26. which is a special day - People's Day, because it is the birthday of giant Mao Zedong who dedicated his entire life selflessly to the people, to the vast majority of unprivileged people, he fought to protect them.

红旗插满毛公山 Red flags everywhere
In China millions of ordinary people remember Mao Zedong on this day in their own ways, some sing pop songs, some display Mao Zedong's pictures, tens of thousands of people would travel to his hometown in Hunan, visit his Memorial Hall in Beijing and other memorial places related with his activities across the country, all spontaneously and voluntarily, just check out this online memorial site to see how many messages are pouring out on this day. why? if one thinks it's government organized, he/she is deadly wrong. In fact the Chinese media/government is trying hard to suppress such activities/news.
In Beijing, people waiting in front of Mao Zedong's Memorial Hall in a bitter cold morning, the Hall had to extend 4 hours to accommodate people, still not enough.
