A mass pageantry kicked off on Tian'anmen Square in central Beijing following a grand military parade Tuesday to celebrate the 70th founding anniversary of the People's Republic of China.

 Themed "Jointly Fulfilling the Chinese Dream," the mass pageantry consisted of three chapters: Founding and Construction of the People's Republic, Reform and Opening-up, and Great Rejuvenation.

 A total of 100,000 people and 70 floats in 36 formations joined the mass pageantry, which presented the great journey in which the Communist Party of China has united and led Chinese people of all ethnic groups to stand up, grow rich and become strong, expressing the people's sincere praise and deep love for the Party and the motherland.

 Nearly a thousand CUFE students took part in the Reform and Opening-up part as one of the nine formations marching past the Tian'anmen Square, marking the beginning of China's reform and the ground-breaking achievements in the special economic zones.
