Beiping ‘Liberated’ Today

I missed this anniversary so thanks to The Beijinger for reminding me. February 3rd 1949 was the date of the ‘liberation’ of Beiping by the PLA and The Beijinger has commemorated it – click here. A few good photos and some useful links to other sources on just how peaceful the ‘liberation’ was. The picture left is also of the PLA ‘liberating’ Beiping to add to the range of images knocking around.
