China National Flag
The National Flag of China has bright red bases with five golden stars adorning it on the upper left side corner. The star on the left is larger than the other four, and it represents the Communist Party of China. The other four represents millions of Chinese people. The bright red color represents the great and sacred communist revolution led by Communist Party of China. The whole flag means Chinese people can overcome all the difficulties, defeat all the enemies and invaders and succeed in all the revolutions and constructions under the leadership of Communist Party of China.
On October 1st, 1949, the present Chinese flag was first hoisted in the Tiananmen Square on the occasion of the foundation of the People's Republic of China.

Festivals in China
Most of the traditional festivals in China are based on the Chinese lunar calendar.
There are also three key national holiday periods in China, when a large part of the population is on the move – all travel bookings are extremely tight at these times, hotels generally increase their rates and flights and trains can be very crowded. The main, week-long holidays are: Chinese New Year in February, International Labour Day the first week of May, and to celebrate National Day the first week in October. Chinese Festivals

Hi Samioa,
We are currently having the census data collected nationwide and should have the exact population in the country in a few months, until then the population announced is 1.3 billion.
A 4-bedroom house costs differently in different cities, and it differs even in different areas in a city. The cost per square meter can be varied from CNY2000 to CNY10000 for your reference, villas are more expensive than apartments.
Hi Laddiy,
I have a different point of view when talking about how Chinese people calculate the New Year date. We calculate the New Year date based on the traditional lunar calender, the calender is made under close observation on the moon movements (the time it takes to move around the earth), and how it affects the weather and farming. The calender is not only for checking the time of the year, but also of great importance on farming guidance. The calender can be calculated to many more years according to certain formula.
Calculating the New Year dates in the lunar calender is one of the traditions in the country, we are proud of it and the tradition will go on. Thanks for your attention!
