As you see, Chinese flag is red background and it has 5 stars which one is bigger the other are smaller. It was designed by Liansong Zeng in 1949. However, the original one was not like the regular one and that was a sickle and a hammer combined together. So the original was like Soviet's. Sickle and hammer each mean farmers and workers. But Chinese were not only farmers and workers, they still had other classes. So the designer changed the draft, and then he made it like current one-"Five-Starred Red Flag"(五星红旗). The biggest star symbolizes communist party of China (the party in power), 4 smaller stars means workers, farmers, busninessmen, intellectual and they surround the biggest star means communist party's leadship and every chinese people is united. The whole red background symbolized that many heroes died in the revolution, that is martyrs' blood.

Also you can see them in schools even in people's homes. The most important is Five-Starred Red Flag is China's symol. Chinese people respect and adore the Five-Starred Red Flag.
