Historical Background
Eight months after Luo Guangbin was transferred to the White House, on October 1, 1949, Mao Zedong proclaimed the establishment of China's **** regime in Beijing, and raised the five-star red flag with his own hands. Members of the C**** underground party in Bai Gong Gong, where Luo Guangbin was held, learned of the news on Oct. 7 from a secret collection of radio broadcasts, and cheered excitedly, but they could only whisper the news to each other because of surveillance by guards.
They hugged excitedly, but their next move could only be to take advantage of the situation to roll around on the ground in a row. That night, they were so excited that no one could sleep. Luo Guangbin suddenly had an idea; he suggested making a five-star red flag and waiting for an opportunity to break out of the cell door with it.
Mao Xiaochuping, who had been locked up with Luo Guangbin and escaped together, recalled, "Luo pulled off his saffron quilt top, and at that time, we did not know how the five-star pattern was arranged, and we quietly discussed that it should be placed in the center of the flag to form a circle."
Said to be embroidered, in fact, Luo Guangbin they neither scissors, nor needle and thread, but with a piece of iron ground into a "small carving knife", the yellow straw paper carved into five five-pointed star. There is no paste, with leftover rice grains to stick the stars to the red silk quilt surface.
After the five-star red flag was made, Luo Guangbin hid it under a piece of flooring in his cell and did not remove it until after the PLA seized control of Chongqing. The cell where the red flag was embroidered has now been turned into an exhibition room, located in the second room of the White House. A "five-star red flag" is displayed in the window. The original red flag was lost, and the one on display today is a replica.
This "five-star red flag" is very different from the real one, because the underground party in prison at that time only learned through the radio that the new regime in China*** used the five-star red flag as the national flag, and the only thing they knew was that there were "five stars" and "red flag", and that the new regime had the "five-star red flag" as the national flag. The only thing I know is that there are "five stars" and "red flag", but as for the layout of the five stars, there is no way to know, so I have to follow my own imagination, so that a big star in the center, four small stars symmetrically distributed in all directions.
