[100th Anniversary of the Communist Party of China] Xiangshan Revolution Memorial Site: The first stop of the CCP’s "Come to Beijing to rush exams"

　　[Explanation] On the mountainside at the southern foot of Beijing Xiangshan Park, there is an elegant courtyard with a white building, green pond, red pavilion, green cypress, and bamboo forest. The environment is quiet and elegant.

　　[Explanation] This is Shuangqing Villa, which was once the command center of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.

On March 25, 1949, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China moved from Xibaipo Village, Pingshan County, Hebei Province to Peiping, and temporarily lived in the Xiangshan Shuangqing Villa. It became the first stop for the Chinese Communists to "come to Beijing for exams."

　　At that time, Peiping had been peacefully liberated, and the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China chose Xiangshan, which was also considered after multiple factors.

The first is that Xiangshan is densely forested and easy to guard and air defense; the second reason is that there are some houses left by the Ciyouyuan in Xiangshan, and only the family of the Ciyouyuan can be solved to solve the housing and office problems; third The main reason is that the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has moved from the countryside to the cities, and lacks the experience in building and managing large cities. First, it will undergo a certain period of transition in Xiangshan.

　　[Explanation] As the place where Mao Zedong lived and worked, Shuangqing Villa has three rooms: a reception room, an office and a bedroom, which are still set up in accordance with the display of the year.

Here, Mao Zedong published "On the People's Democratic Dictatorship", which laid the theoretical foundation and policy foundation for the establishment of New China.

It was also here that Mao Zedong met with patriots such as Zhang Lan, Li Jishen, Huang Yanpei, etc., and discussed the preparations for the New China during the meetings.

　　Mao Zedong and the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China settled in Xiangshan until they moved to the Juxiang Bookstore in Zhongnanhai on September 21 of that year. These 181 days can be said to be the place where New China laid the foundation.

In the military, he mainly commanded the famous battle of crossing the river, and then commanded the order to advance to the whole country, and gradually liberated the whole country.

I met with many democratic patriots and various people’s organizations, including youth representatives, women’s representatives, and workers’ representatives, and they were discussing plans for building the country.

In addition, economic arrangements were made in all directions, which laid the foundation for the economic development of New China.

　　[Explanation] The Xiangshan Revolutionary Memorial Hall, located at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain, is holding a special exhibition of "Leadership in the Red Radio Waves", focusing on 202 telegraph manuscripts drafted by Mao Zedong during his stay in Xiangshan.

In these letters, you can see the historical footprint and glorious course of the Chinese revolution to victory.

　　One such telegram was a reply from Mao Zedong and others to Zhang Lan on June 1, 1949: The focus of future work is on construction, and we are eagerly looking forward to the friendly joint efforts of all parties.

Mr. and Mr. Luo are ready to come to Ping and they are extremely welcome.

On June 24, Zhang Lan and others arrived in Peiping. Mao Zedong immediately arranged to visit this old friend after learning that Zhang Lan had arrived. He ordered the guard Li Yinqiao to say that Mr. Zhang Lan had made great contributions to the revolution. Change a good dress to show respect for him.

Li Yinqiao flipped through the few clothes that Chairman Mao had only for a long time, but he did not find one without patches. The Chairman said that it’s okay to have patches as long as they are clean and tidy.

In this way, Mao Zedong wore patched clothes and met with Zhang Lan, and met with many democrats, which fully demonstrated the arduous and simple traditions of our older generation of proletarian revolutionaries.

　　[Explanation] Laiqingxuan, not far from the north side of Xiangshan Shuangqing Villa, used to be the office and residence of central leaders such as Zhu De, Liu Shaoqi, Zhou Enlai, and Ren Bishi.

In addition, there are a total of eight revolutionary sites, including the location of the Central Security Office at that time, the location of the Propaganda Department of the CPC Central Committee, and the location of the CPC Central Library, which have been intensively repaired and protected.

　　[Explanation] It is understood that the Xiangshan Revolutionary Memorial Site officially received tourists from mid-September 2019. In less than one and a half years, it has become a new cultural landmark in Beijing and one of Beijing's red tourist attractions.
