On June 30, 1933, the Central Revolutionary Military Commission decided to choose the August 1, the date of the Nanchang Uprising, to be the memorial day of the founding of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army of China. On July 11, the temporary central government of the Chinese Soviet Republic approved the decision. Since then, the August 1 each year became the Army's Day of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.
