"The first person to propose the National Day was Mr. Ma Xulun, then a member of the CPPCC and chief representative of the Democratic Progressive Movement." On October 9, 1949, the First National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference held its first meeting.Commissioner Xu Guangping made a speech: "Commissioner Ma Xulun can't come on leave.
