On October 1, 1959, the Hongqi parade car made its debut. Here are some related introductions: 1. National brand: Since its first appearance in the National Day parade in 1959, the national brand "Hongqi" has become synonymous with National Day parade cars. Since then, Hongqi can always be seen at major national events. For Chinese people, it is not just a car, but also a national sentiment. Therefore, Hongqi is also known as the "national car". 2. Sacred memory: Hongqi is not only a famous car brand, but also a deep sentiment and sacred memory. For FAW people, Hongqi is also a strong responsibility and historical mission.
I remember that important day on October 1, 1959, during the celebration of the 10th anniversary of China's National Day, when the Hongqi sedan made its dazzling debut. This car was the first domestically produced high-end sedan manufactured by China's First Automobile Works, marking the beginning of independent innovation in China's automotive industry. The background is quite interesting—at that time, China didn’t truly have its own domestically produced cars, relying entirely on imports or assembly. The emergence of Hongqi was a refreshing sight for everyone. Its design incorporated traditional elements like dragons and phoenixes, making it both beautiful and practical, initially reserved exclusively for national leaders. Today, the Hongqi brand has been revitalized, with models like the new H9 becoming hot sellers, continuing its influence. From a historical perspective, this moment symbolizes a leap in national confidence, a story worth exploring for every car enthusiast. One can even visit museums to relive that glorious era.
