Soong Ching Ling exhibition reopens after major upgrades

An exhibition on the life of Soong Ching Ling reopened to the public at her former residence in Beijing on Monday, with about 50 cultural relics being put on display for the first time.

Since the residence was opened in 1982, the exhibition has been upgraded four times, playing a major role in the protection of the belongings of Sun Yat-sen and Soong Ching Ling, as well as the promotion of their ideas and spirit.

The exhibition has nine chapters with more than 560 items, showcasing over 200 cultural relics and more than 270 pictures.

He Baoxiang, vice-chairperson of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference National Committee and executive vice-chairperson of the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang Central Committee, said people admire Sun and Soong, who devoted themselves to serving the Chinese people.

He added the China Soong Ching Ling Foundation and commemorative institutions at home and abroad should play their role as inheritors and developers of the couple's spirit.
