Do you ever celebrate your motherland 's and mom's birthday?

Yes I do and it is proven in my reply to similar discussion posted by my great friend, William ( http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/2141892.aspx ). But, I am very sad for my mom's birthday because of her status 'the late mom'. She passed away during Beijing enjoying the Beijing Olympic 2008 and very easy for me to remember that date - 8.8.08, the only thing is the time, which was at 7.45 am.

Hello zhouxi. I am very happy for the sixtieth birthday of our great country on October 1st, 2009. I watched on TV the program for a few hours from the beginning to the end. It is so exciting and amazing of the grand parade in Beijing. I feel very proud of our country to have achieved so many great achievements in the past sixty years since its foundation in 1949. I wish to see the great prospects we are heading forward with more and more successes and achievements in the years to come. China is an old as well as a young country that is developing fast. Let's hope for the best of our country!
