The People’s Republic turns 70 on October 1st. Mark Mardell tells the story of how much China has changed in those seven decades - politically, culturally and socially. In part one of this series, we hear from a birthday party in Beijing: 70 year old Xu Rong and her friends were born within days of the country's founding.
