Morning came and the long awaited national liberation day was upon them. All those that had been invited for the celebrations at the palace went beautifully dressed. They attended the official banquet in their beautiful traditional hanfu's and robes. A few wore more modern versions of the outfits, and some stubborn young men wore suits. It was not just in the palace but everywhere in the empire.
It was a public holiday, one that marked the beginning of the much needed and long awaited break from school. For many children, the moment this traditional wear was donned, the holiday fun was just beginning. So everywhere one turned, they could see teenage girls and boys, walking around in the malls in their traditional wear, chattering and giggling about their holiday plans.
