[edit]Jilin Beishan Stadium was constructed in 1949 at the foot of Beishan Park, Jilin City in China.[1][3] A football competition took place in Jilin Beishan Stadium during the 1st Jilin Provincial Games (Chinese: 吉林省运动会), which happened between 25 and 29 September 1949.[4] On 1 October 1949, Jilin Province residents assembled at the stadium to listen to the proclamation of the People's Republic of China by Mao Zedong, the Chairman of the Chinese Communist Party. Government and military leaders assembled for the event. Attendees included Liu Xiwu, the Communist Party Committee Secretary of Jilin Province, and Li Dezhong, the Communist Party Committee Deputy Secretary of Jilin Province. Liu gave a speech, and they had a parade.[5]
Jilan Province's second sports review general assembly (Chinese: 体育检阅大会) took place at Jilin Beishan Stadium in a year in the 1950s.

Students made up 50.4% of the attendees and came from Jilin Normal University, Jilin City No.1 High School, and Jilin Martial Arts Museum (Chinese: 吉林国术馆). The events were track and field, basketball, volleyball, football, tennis, and softball. The competitions had different divisions: junior high school, high school, and adults. During the showcase, Jilin primary and secondary school students gave demonstrations of dances, gymnastics, and martial arts.[6]
