On April 4, the flag at the station square in front of the Beijing Railway Station lowered half of the flag, and the people stood in silence. In order to express the deep condolences of the people of all ethnic groups in the country in the fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic, at the expense of martyrs and deceased compatriots, the State Council issued an announcement and decided to hold a national mourning event on April 4, 2020. This is the first time that China has launched a national mourning event due to a major public health emergency. It is also the fourth national mourning event since the founding of New China.
