> 
> New China Radio Years
> 
> The early 1940s saw China fighting against Japanese invasion. It was during these trying times that New China Radio, the station that would eventually grow into China Radio International, was founded. 
> 
> New China's first broadcast began on December 3rd, 1941, from a remote mountain cave. On air was Hara Kiyoshi, a Japanese anti-war activist. She br oadcast in her mother tongue, telling the Japanese people the truth about the war. 
> 
> New China Radio went on to cover all the important Chinese events of the era. One unforgettable day was October 1st, 1949, when the station broadcast the news of the founding of the People's Republic of China to the world.
> 
> 
> Radio Peking Years
> 
> With the founding of the new government, New China Radio moved to Beijing. And with the move came a new name. In April, 1950, New China Radio became Radio Peking.  
&g t; 
> The theme song of the revamped station was the then extremely popular: "The East is Red".  
> 
> Radio Peking soon began broadcasting in other languages to promote friendship between China and other developing countries. First came Farsi, then Swahili, and then Arabic. 
> 
> By the mid 1970s, Radio Peking was broadcasting in 43 languages and dialects, a service CRI continues with pride to this day.
> 
> The language expansion was soon followed by a geographic expansion. In order to provide first-hand coverage of world even ts, Radio Peking (then changed to Radio Beijing) established news bureaus all over the world in the 1980s. The first two were in Tokyo and Belgrade. And that number has steadily grown to the 27 overseas news bureaus CRI currently operates worldwide.
>  
> 
> China Radio International 1993-Future
> 
> Yes, CRI. By 1993, the name Radio Beijing seemed to no longer fit a broadcaster that had become so international in reach. And so Radio Beijing became China Radio International (CRI). 
> 
> Among the station's greatest accomplishments as  CRI stands the 1998 launching of its website CRI Online. Simply put, CRI Online has emerged as one of the best places on the Internet to learn about China. 
> 
> And as Kenyan listeners can tell you, now in 2006, CRI is as busy as ever. The station launched its first overseas FM broadcasts earlier this year in Nairobi. And over the course of the next 5 years, CRI plans to make FM broadcasts available in over 100 more areas. 
> 
> Whew! So what drives CRI to keep expanding and improving? Why it's you the listener.  We broadcast for people like Indrananda Abeysekara of Sri Lanka. Earlier this year he applied to eventually donate his corneas to a Chinese person. Partly due to his generosity, Changsha, capital city of Hunan province, and Indrananda's hometown of Kaludara have become sister cities. 
> 
> And so as CRI celebrates its 65th anniversary this year, this station that once broadcast from a remote mountain hideout knows who to thank for its success. Up to date, 3,600 CRI listeners' clubs have been established all over the world. And in the year 200 5, letters from listeners numbered over 2.17 million. Thank you valued listener. Thank you.
