On this day in 1949, classics writer Chairman Mao Zedong stood on the "Gate of Heavenly Peace" (Tiananmen) and declared the founding of the People's Republic of China--an event which had actually happened about 10 days earlier. Happy birthday, PRC, my home for over 11 years!
(A seriously light day in "classics history," by the way.)
