The National Flag was rising, and here I was, proudly singing March of the Volunteers on Tiananmen Square, anticipating the start of China's 60th Anniversary.
As a volunteer background performer, my job was to switch 48 pictures simultaneously with 100,000 others during the two-hour performance. Despite the sweltering weather, my partners and I had trained almost every day from seven till noon for over three months. For a better effect, we composed jingles to remember the picture order, counted the duration of each image, and even invented tools to fix the unstable property. Though the hard practice and innumerable rehearsals sometimes exhausted me, the thought of contributing to my motherland's anniversary in person would always fill me with infinite vigor and excitement.
"March on! On!" the ending climax indicated the beginning of the formal ceremony. Three. Two. One. Presenting the first image, I murmured from my heart, "Happy birthday, China!"
