Museum that charts party history becomes new Beijing landmark
Among the items are the manuscript of Karl Marx's notes from Brussels, and scenes depicting the first CPC National Congress and the famous Zunyi Conference during the epic Long March (1934-35).
"Seeing the notes is like having a conversation with Karl Marx by traveling back in history," said Li Zongyuan, deputy curator of the museum. "Visitors will feel a close connection with the great people and gain a strong awareness of our responsibility to better practice Marxism in China with our own characteristics."
Also on display are boards showing the establishment of revolutionary bases, footage from the founding ceremony of the People's Republic of China, and weapons used during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea (1950-53).
Charts relating to poverty alleviation and models of the Huoshenshan and Leishenshan hospitals built in Wuhan, Hubei province, to fight the COVID-19 epidemic last year are also on display.
