October this year is a special month, which is very commemorative. At the beginning of the founding of the people's Republic of China, because of the weakness of the national strength and the lack of planes, the planes for the Tiananmen Square parade all flew twice. Today, the soaring motherland will never need to fly twice again, which is enough to comfort the revolutionary martyrs. So, what are the festivals in October?
