At the same time, in the history of our party, there has not been a permanent exhibition hall with party history as the main line and a panoramic display of the party's unswerving struggle.
Soon after the closing of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core made a major decision: to build an exhibition hall for the history of the Communist Party of China!
"The construction of the exhibition hall should be consistent with the spirit of the Communist Party of China, fully embody the history of the Communist Party of China's centuries of struggle and the great spirit of struggle contained therein, and reflect the great course of the Chinese Communists' hard work and tenacious struggle";
"To give full play to the comprehensive functions of display, commemoration, publicity, education, research, etc.";
"We must focus on educating young people and tell the story of the Chinese Communist Party";
...

Where should the Chinese Communist Party History Exhibition Hall be built?
After comprehensive consideration of factors such as geographic location, venue height, and surrounding environment, a piece of reserved cultural land next to the dragon-shaped water system of Beijing Olympic Park enters the field of view of site selection——
Located in the Beijing Olympic Park, it is not only a key functional area of the city, but also echoes the magnificent central axis of the ancient capital Beijing.
National-level cultural facilities such as the China Science and Technology Museum, the China Art Museum, and the Chinese Academy of History are adjacent to each other, with a strong cultural atmosphere.
After deciding on the location of the exhibition hall, a series of work moved forward in full swing.

Race against time all the way-
After the start of the project, the construction of the foundation pit needs to transport 10,000 square meters of soil every day, which is equivalent to the transportation volume of 800 muck trucks.
From 6 o'clock in the afternoon every day, the endless stream of muck trucks kept coming in and out of the foundation pit, working until 4 or 5 o'clock in the morning.
In the hot summer, the construction period coincided with the installation of steel structures. Workers sat on the hot steel beams and welded nearly 400,000 bolts one by one;
During the construction period in the cold winter, the builders set up scaffolding around the columns and climbed up and down every day from morning to night to work hard.
Completed 1.05 million cubic meters of earthwork in 100 days, completed the construction of 2,242 foundation piles in 45 days, completed the topping of 150,000 square meters of underground structures 15 days in advance, and achieved the topping of the main building structure 12 days in advance... Participating units have a high sense of responsibility and Sense of mission, comprehensively benchmarking the safety, quality, schedule, and cost targets of the construction of the standard project, creating construction records one after another.
"Breaking the cold and fighting the heat, regardless of gains and losses, and fulfilling our mission, we have turned our love for the party into a strong motivation for work." Wang Heng, project manager of Beijing Urban Construction Group, said emotionally.
Struggling with difficulties all the way-
At the beginning of 2020, the new crown pneumonia epidemic is coming fiercely.
In June of the same year, a cluster of epidemics occurred in Beijing's Xinfadi Agricultural Products Wholesale Market, and the capital's epidemic prevention alarm was sounded again.
The epidemic affects not only the construction of personnel, but also the dispatch and transportation of building materials.
How to ensure project construction under the premise of adhering to safety first and life first is a difficult problem that needs to be solved urgently.
At critical moments, relevant departments intensified their overall planning efforts to guide and urge the project management team to focus on epidemic prevention and construction with one hand.
Through a series of measures such as full-staff nucleic acid testing, strict closed management, dividing areas to reduce contact, and implementing a meal-sharing system, the impact of the epidemic has been minimized.
During this period, in order to ensure the quality and progress of the project construction, many comrades gave up the Spring Festival and other holidays to fight on the front line of the project, interpreting the loyal nature of loving the party and serving the country with practical actions.
Stone selection is a difficult point in engineering construction.
In order to find suitable white marble, the relevant team went to mines across the country to check the quality of the stone on the spot.
From the stone size, straightness, thickness, density and other aspects of multiple demonstrations, the final selection of the white marble at the foot of Jiajin Mountain in Ya'an, Sichuan.
Jiajin Mountain is a snow-capped mountain that the Red Army overcame in the Long March.
"The selection of the white marble produced near Jiajin Mountain for the Party History Exhibition Hall is precisely the continuation and inheritance of our party's revolutionary spirit." said Liu Han, deputy director of the General Contracting Department of the China Building Standard Design and Research Institute.
The construction of the Chinese Communist Party History Exhibition Hall is a systematic project, with more than 200 units and nearly 50,000 people directly participating.
From organization to coordination, from design to construction, from production to transportation, from installation to presentation, relevant departments and construction units are thinking together and working hard together, forming a powerful force for overcoming difficulties:
—— The Central Propaganda Department set up a special leading group to strengthen overall coordination, carefully demonstrate the plan, do a good job of surrounding planning, and simultaneously study and promote the party history exhibition and the collection of cultural relics.
——National Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Finance, Zhongzhi Administration, Beijing Municipality, etc. strongly support and participate in the whole process, and go all out to promote project construction.
——The project agent, designer, constructor, supervisor, and consultant each perform their duties and cooperate closely.
——The China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the China Artists Association organized the Central Academy of Fine Arts, Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts, China Academy of Fine Arts, Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts, National Art Museum of China and other nationally renowned art teams to carefully create and complete major themed sculpture projects.
—— Ya'an in Sichuan, Quanzhou in Fujian, Anshun in Guizhou, Enshi in Hubei, Anhua in Hunan, Dongyang in Zhejiang and other places actively coordinate the implementation of stone and wood, and process with care to ensure quality.
...
During the construction of the project, relevant leaders of the central government went deep into the construction site many times, studied and promoted key tasks, coordinated and resolved major issues, and effectively guided and promoted the work.
