Some countries take the national independence day as the national day. 1804 January 1, the Haitian people annihilated Napoleon's 60,000 expeditionary force, declared independence in Port-au-Prince, and from then on the first of January every year as the national day.

Historical origin of National Day :
October 1 is the birthday of our great motherland
October 1, 1949, is the anniversary of the founding of the new China. It should be clarified here that, in the impression of many people, October l, 1949 in Beijing Tiananmen Square held hundreds of thousands of military and civilian participation in the Chinese people **** and the country's founding ceremony. In fact, this impression in people's minds is not accurate. Because the ceremony held in Tiananmen Square on October 1, 1949 was the founding ceremony of the Central People's Government of the People's Republic of China, not the Founding Ceremony. In fact, the "founding" of the People's Republic of China, that is to say, the establishment of the People's Republic of China, had already been announced a week before October 1 of that year. At that time, it was not called the "Founding Ceremony", but the "Founding Ceremony". The date was September 21, 1949, when the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) was held. On that day, Mao Zedong, head of the preparatory committee for the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), announced the birth of a new China in his opening speech at the first session of the CPPCC.
So what about National Day on October 1? At the first meeting of the First National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Xu Guangping spoke, "Member Ma Shulun was unable to come on leave, and he asked me to say that the founding of the People's Republic of China should be celebrated on a national day, so I hope that this Council will decide to designate October 1 as a national day." Mao Tse-tung said "We should make a proposal, suggest it to the government and let the government decide." On October 2, 1949, the Central People's Government passed the Resolution on the National Day of the People's Republic of China (PRC), which stipulated that October 1 of each year would be the National Day and that this day would be used as the date for proclaiming the founding of the People's Republic of China (PRC). From then on, October 1 every year has become a festival of grand celebration of the people of all ethnic groups in the country.
