STORYLINE:

Chinese communities in New Zealand celebrated the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China (PRC) with a national flag-raising ceremony, lion dances, speeches, culture entertainment and refreshments in New Zealand's largest city Auckland and the country's capital Wellington on Sunday.

The China National Day celebrations is a long-standing annual activity held by the Auckland Chinese Community Center (ACCC), with a special flag-raising ceremony that started in 2014. At the flag-raising ceremony on Sunday, national anthems of the PRC and New Zealand were sung during the rising of national flags of the two countries. Several hundred people, most of them Chinese New Zealanders, attended the celebration.

Chinese communities in the country's capital Wellington also gathered on Sunday evening to mark the 75th anniversary of the PRC's founding.

The event was attended by nearly 200 guests, including Chinese Ambassador to New Zealand Wang Xiaolong, Assistant Speaker of the New Zealand House of Representatives Greg O'Connor, Wellington city councilors, representatives of the Chinese community and the China-New Zealand Friendship Association.

Lion dance, Chinese folk musical instrument performance and Chinese folk song and dance were staged at Sunday's celebrations. Chinese food and refreshments added a joyful, festive mood to this special occasion.
