On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China (PRC), the All-China Women's Federation (ACWF) organized visits to women recipients of the Medal of the Republic and national titles of honor, the oldest Red Army veteran and directors of women's organizations that existed before the founding of the PRC.

Shen Yueyue, Vice-Chairperson of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress and President of the ACWF, Huang Xiaowei, Vice-President and First Member of the Secretariat of the ACWF, visited Wang Dingguo, the oldest Red Army veteran, Tu Youyou, winner of the Medal of the Republic, Zhang Miman, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Guo Liwen and Huang Ganying, retirees of the ACWF.

Tan Lin, Vice-President and Member of the Secretariat of the ACWF, visited Zang Junying and Wang Guoshu, directors of the women's organization for saving the country before the founding of the PRC. They made unique contributions to China's revolution in history and expressed their happiness and joy in seeing China becoming stronger and wealthier.

Wu Haiying, Vice-President and Member of the Secretariat of the ACWF, called on 82-year-old Miao Xiaohong, one of the second group of women pilots in the history of the PRC, who controlled the Tecnam P2010 plane to take off, turn, climb, dive and land safely at Shifosi Airport in Pinggu District in Beijing several months ago.

Miao said she will fight for her next goal — flying a plane 10 years from now, when she turns 92.
