People's Liberation Army

The flag of the People's Liberation Army is a red background with a yellow star and three lines in the canton. The three lines represent Chinese characters "八一", which translates to "eight one", a reference to the events of August 1, 1927, when the PLA was created by the Chinese Communist Party at the start of their rebellion in Nanchang against the Kuomintang Government.
