A new China has emerged with a new landscape and people of a new character. China can boast of her age-old history and distinguished cultural tradition. In 1949, Chairman Mao Tse-tung, the great leader of the Chinese people, proclaimed from Tien An Men the founding of the People's Republic of China. This event has written a new chapter in China's history and opened up a new cultural horizon. Majestic, precipitous, beautiful and secluded as before, mountains like Tienshan, Kunlun, Changpai, Taihang, Chinling, Wuling, Huangshan, Lushan, and Omei have changed beyond recognition. The same is true of the numerous waters which criss-cross the land, such as Heilungkiang, Yalu, the Yellow River, the Yangtse, the Pearl,Lantsang and Nuchiang, some swift and torrential, others limpid and serene. Speaking of the islands, Taiwan is sure to come back to the Motherland, and Hainan, on the South China Sea, is treasured like a pearl.
