On this day, 76 years ago, September 25, 1949 (August 4, 1949, the lunar calendar), Xinjiang was peacefully liberated. In 1949, the People's Liberation Army of China entered Xinjiang and was welcomed by local people from all walks of life. In April 1949, Nanjing was liberated and the Kuomintang regime was destroyed. The People's Liberation Army continues to pursue and annihilate the remnants of the enemy. In July, the battle to liberate the northwest provinces began, and vast areas of Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, and Qinghai were quickly liberated. Faced with the reality that the People's Liberation Army was destroying everything, Tao Zhiyue, commander-in-chief of the Kuomintang's Xinjiang Provincial Garrison, issued a telegram on September 25, announcing that he had led the province's military and political personnel to uprising and Xinjiang had been peacefully liberated. Announced his separation from the reactionary Kuomintang government and his return to the people. On September 28, Chairman Mao and Commander-in-Chief Zhu sent a telegram back, pointing out: "We believe that your position is correct.""This attitude is in line with the wishes of the people of the country, and we are extremely pleased. I hope that you will unite military and political personnel to maintain national unity and local order, and cooperate with the People's Liberation Army, which is now preparing to exit customs, abolish the old system, implement the new system, and strive to establish a new Xinjiang!" From then on, Xinjiang was peacefully liberated! The people of all ethnic groups in Xinjiang, like the people of the whole country, have taken new steps towards socialist revolution and socialist construction. On October 12, the China People's Liberation Army marched into Xinjiang and entered Dihua, the capital of Xinjiang, on the 20th. On November 7, comrades Wang Zhen, Xu Liqing and other arrived in Dihua and were warmly welcomed. The peaceful liberation of Xinjiang was achieved under the wise leadership and cordial care of the Party Central Committee and Chairman Mao. It is of great significance to safeguarding the unity of the motherland and national unity. On December 17, 1949, the Xinjiang Provincial People's Government and the Xinjiang Military Region were officially established (the picture shows the venue of the celebration meeting).
