Resolution on the National Day of the People's Republic of China

At its First Session held on October 9, 1949, the First National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference adopted the proposal "Requesting the Government formally to Make October the First the National Day of the People's Republic of China to replace the Old National Day Which Falls on October the Tenth" and submitted it to the Central People's Government for adoption and implementation.

Believing that the proposal submitted by the first National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference conforms to the reality of history and represents the will of the people, the Central People's Administration Council decides to adopt it.

The Central People's Administration Council hereby proclaims: Beginning from 1950, October the first, the great day on which the People's Republic of China proclaims its founding, shall be the day on which the founding of the People's Republic of China shall be celebrated every year.
