In order to celebrate the 72nd anniversary of the founding of New China, on the eve of National Day, religious groups such as Cixi Buddhist Association, Catholic Patriotic Association and Christian “Two Sessions” and various religious venues held national flag-raising ceremonies. Amid the solemn national anthem, people lined up neatly to pay attention to the rising national flag to celebrate People’s Republic of China (PRC)’s 72nd birthday, praying for world peace, national prosperity and people’s happiness and well-being.
All religious groups in Cixi have always adhered to the fine tradition of patriotism and love for religion, and guided and led religious figures and believers to play an active role in economic and social development in accordance with the basic requirements of conscious political identification, conscious cultural integration and conscious social adaptation. The flag-raising ceremony expressed the love of religious circles in Cixi for the motherland, and also reflected their determination to stick to the direction of China religion and actively take the road that is suitable for the socialist society.
