For the first time, China's female guards of honor will attend the military parade on September 3rd. |
In average, the servicewomen are 20 years old and 1-point-seventy-eight meters in height. They have been in active service since last May. They are the first females in the 63-year-long history of the People's Liberation Army, or PLA, honor guards.
In the upcoming parade, the PLA will dispatch the largest-ever honor guard formation. For the most formal occasions, such as the visit of a foreign head of the state, there are normally 151 honor guards at the welcome ceremony.
