BEIJING, Sept. 29 (Xinhua) -- From simply meeting basic food needs to today's pursuit of healthy and savory eating, the diet of Chinese people has undergone a dramatic transformation since the founding of the People's Republic of China in 1949. Over the past 75 years, the dining tables have witnessed China's economic development and social progress. In the early years after the country was founded, the foods on the dining tables were primarily grain-based, to ensure everyone had enough to eat.  Wang Dezhu (1st L) and his family enjoy a reunion dinner during the Spring Festival in north China's Tianjin, in 1953.
