BEIJING, June 20  -- Preparations for the art performance celebrating the centenary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) are proceeding smoothly.

Titled "Great Journey," the performance is set to be held at the National Stadium ahead of July 1 this year.

People from various walks of life, including Party and state leaders, representative honorees, grassroots Party members, and representatives of the public, will watch the show at the stadium.
