China's Great Hall of the People
China's Great Hall of the People，a remarkable example of her speed of construction was built in 1958．James Cameron of the London News Chronicle，who was in China in 1954，reported even then the space of building was unbelievable；how four new hospitals，six factories，and eleven full-side blocks had been laid out，started and completed in a matter of weeks．The hotel I stayed in Nanjing in 1957----a four-hundred room hotel with tiled bathroom to every room---was completed in seventeen weeks．I saw the Chinese genius for rapid construction in 1954．
To celebrate the tenth anniversary of the People's Republic of China，Beijing decided to build ten major building projects and complete them in ten museums．Two of these projects were the construction of the museum of Chinese History and the Great Hall of the People．These buildings stand on each side of Tian An Men Square．The square itself is five hundred yards wide，five times the size of St．Peter's in Rome，and it is now the largest and I think perhaps one of the most pleasing square in the world．
