Fireworks mark 60th anniversary for PRC

Red, pink, white and orange fireworks shot up into the night sky, lighting up Tian'anmen Square and 56 giant decorative columns, which were set up on the square to represent China's 56 ethnic groups.

Ding Zhenkuan, the pyrotechnician who organized the fiery show, was quoted by the Beijing Daily as saying that the display would send nearly 42,000 shells into the night sky, doubling the number fired at the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony last August.
