Editor's Notes:

2009 marks the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. Since 1949, enormous changes have taken place in China, and many events have gone down in history as a part of the national memory. China.org.cn presents a series of old photos to review the past 60 years in order to remember the great people and achievements of the country.

Residents of Beijing celebrate at the Tian'anmen square after the "Gang of Four" members, Jiang Qing, Zhang Chunqiao, Wang Hongwen and Yao Wenyuan, were taken into custody and under investigation on October 6, 1976.
