Xi visits revolution-themed exhibition hall in Hunan
CHANGSHA - Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, on Wednesday visited a revolution-themed exhibition hall during his inspection tour in Central China's Hunan province.
The exhibition chronicles the story of an impoverished villager named Xu Jiexiu, who offered shelter to three female Red Army soldiers during the Long March in the 1930s. Upon the soldiers' departure, they cut their only quilt into two pieces, leaving one part with Xu to show their care.
Lacking food and clothing, even facing life-or-death situations, the Red Army still kept the people's well-being in mind, Xi said, noting that the story shows the CPC's original aspiration and character.
Thus, the people have come to understand what the CPC-led people's army truly is, Xi said.
The story remains touching today, Xi said, urging efforts to pass on the revolutionary traditions.
