Do you know what day January 4th is?
While everyone is busy celebrating New Year's Day and planning for the new year, another Southeast Asian country is also celebrating their unique holiday, which is Myanmar Independence Day.
Myanmar covers an area of 676581 square kilometers. There are 135 ethnic groups living in Myanmar. As the main ethnic group, the Burmese account for 65% of the national population. The Burmese language is the national language, and 80% of the people in the country believe in Buddhism.] Looking back to history, January 4, 1948 was a landmark day for Myanmar. On that day, Myanmar completely broke away from British colonial rule. Since then, Myanmar has opened a new chapter as an independent and sovereign country. Every year, January 4 is designated as the Independence Day.
On Independence Day, there are various activities taking place throughout Myanmar. In the towns of Bidu and other areas within Yangon Province, the streets and alleys are full of vitality, with lively races such as "getting down, picking potatoes, pillow fights," and hot air balloons. People enjoy the festive joy to the fullest. At the same time, the capital usually holds parades and commemorative ceremonies, where the President and Vice President deliver speeches and people take to the streets to celebrate this holiday in a special way, to remember the glorious past of national independence.
On this special day, Huayang Steel wishes the people of Myanmar a happier life and prosperous development under the blue sky of independence and freedom. Happy holidays!
