For many Chinese people, visiting Beijing's Tiananmen Square and watching the flag-raising ceremony is a lifetime event. At 7 am on December 10, Tiananmen Square was filled with tourists from different countries. They were waiting for the flag-raising ceremony. Eric, a French photographer, was one of them. He has recorded this amazing moment with camera.
