A parade of about 5,000 children with colored balloons and wreaths in hand walked by Tian'anmen Rostrum in central Beijing Thursday, along with a float in the shape of a giant basket filled with flowers, in celebration of the60th founding anniversary of New China.

The square formation called "Tomorrow will be better" was the largest and final one in the mass pageant. The float named "Flourishing flowers" was also the final of 60 running through the mass pageant.

The background on Tian'anmen Square presented a slogan of "Tomorrow will be better".

Themed "Bright Future", the final part was entirely made up of children paraders, hoping to convey the message to the world that children are the future of the country and will be successors to the cause of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
