60 Years



So China celebrated it's 60th Birthday for Communism.  China has come so far since 1949.  She has been through so much turmoil.  She has transformed indeed.  Today she sits as a strong force in the world.  The Middle Kingdom has once again returned and traders from far and wide come to her gates to glean from her.  I watched the CCTV program of Tienamen Square.  Very interesting as China showed off her military strength.  Thousands of troops and tanks rolled past the president.  I felt a strange sense of pride for China and found myself missing my own country and the patriotism celebrated on our birthday of independence.  My hope is that the people of China will taste more freedoms these next 60 years of China's history.
