The event praised collective and individual winners of the national and the Beijing's March 8th Red-Banner Award ahead of International Women's Day (March 8).
 
During the gathering, children recited the Song of Mulan, along with the help of Meng Man, an associate professor from Minzu University of China, who is also a delegate of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC).
 
The whole activity had four parts, which took themes of "Beginning of a New Era", "Warmth in a New Era", "Development in a New Era", and "Missions in a New Era".
