On October 9, 1949, a Five-Star Red Flag—flawed in form but perfect in meaning—was raised for the first time on the American continent. That striking shade of Chinese red gave countless overseas compatriots the strength to stand tall. In times of war and turmoil, they crossed oceans and built a "Great Wall abroad" with their own flesh and blood. When peace returned, they followed the dawn of a new era homeward—planting the seeds of passion in the soil of their motherland. From national salvation to the journey of rejuvenation, the footsteps of devoted sons and daughters of China have never ceased.
