Artifacts from "borrowing" to "donating"
Since the opening of the Xiangshan Revolution Memorial Hall on September 13, tourists from all over the country have flocked to it. Among the cultural relics on display, the badge of the Labor University and the sample emblem of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (officially used version and the unused version) have attracted much attention, and these three cultural relics have been collected by Zhao Guangchen, a former staff officer of the Operations Department of the Central Military Commission, and then lent to the Xiangshan Revolution Memorial Hall for exhibition.
On September 20th, the Xiangshan Revolution Memorial Hall welcomed a special group of visitors - the main cultural relics donors of the theme exhibition "Laying the Foundation for New China - The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in Xiangshan" visited the museum, and the elderly Zhao Guangchen was one of them.
Seeing that the three cultural relics in his collection received special attention in the exhibition hall, the elderly Zhao Guangchen had some of his own "ideas", and he said excitedly when visiting the exhibition: "My whole person is the party, what else can I give?" ”
After the visit, the elderly Zhao Guangchen decided to donate all three cultural relics to the memorial hall. In this regard, the reporter learned from the Cultural Relics Collection and Research Department of the Xiangshan Revolution Memorial Hall that on September 27, the cultural relics collection personnel of the Memorial Hall went to Zhao Guangchen's home to handle the relevant procedures for cultural relics donation. "We were really surprised, and the elderly Zhao Guangchen directly told us that the agreement was changed from borrowing to donation." Gui Xingxing, a staff member of the Cultural Relics Collection and Research Department of the Xiangshan Revolution Memorial Hall, told reporters.
Zhang Jichang, Zhao Guangchen's son-in-law, told reporters: "After we accompanied the old man to see the exhibition, he was particularly happy and decided to donate cultural relics to the memorial hall. He collected these badges and did not enrich himself, mainly because of his attachment to the party. Donating to the memorial hall is more valuable, has better educational significance for future generations, and allows future generations to better understand the more comprehensive history of the CPC Central Committee in Xiangshan. ”
Three new artifacts from the memorial
At the end of the collection of cultural relics at the Xiangshan Revolution Memorial Hall, there were new unexpected gains.
Gui Xingxing, who is in charge of the collection of cultural relics, told reporters that when he went through the formalities for the donation of borrowed cultural relics at Zhao Guangchen's home, the elderly Zhao Guangchen donated three new cultural relics to the memorial hall, and these three precious cultural relics were: the "CPC delegation" badge used by Zhao Guangchen when he was working in the executive department of the Military Investigation Office in 1946; and the commemorative medal of the first plenary session of the Chinese Political Consultative Conference used and preserved by Zhao Guangchen in 1949 In 1951, Zhao Guangchen, chief of the Operations Department of the People's Revolutionary Military Commission of the Central People's Government, used and preserved the badge of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.
Zhao Guangchen's son-in-law Zhang Jichang told reporters that these three cultural relics and other badges have been carefully preserved by the elderly Zhao Guangchen. "I've moved home several times, and I always remember these artifacts, where to go and where to take them." They are all wrapped in small handkerchiefs and placed in a small box. Previously, the elderly Zhao Guangchen had planned to donate these cultural relics to the museum, and now he feels that these cultural relics are most suitable for display in the Xiangshan Revolution Memorial Hall, because that is the best destination for cultural relics. ”
Gui Xingxing, a cultural relics collector at the Xiangshan Revolution Memorial Hall, told reporters that these precious cultural relics reflect the important history of the Liberation War, the preparation for the construction of new China, and the CPC Central Committee in Xiangshan, and have very important cultural relics historical materials and research value.

Chinese commemorative medal of the first plenary session of the Democratic Political Consultative Conference.
The "CPC delegation" badge used by Zhao Guangchen while working in the Executive Department of the Military Investigation Office.
In 1946, Zhao Guangchen used the "Chinese Communist Delegation" badge while working in the Executive Department of the Military Investigation Office
This chapter is a circular bronze enamel badge centered on a contiguous three-ring pattern, surrounded by a wheat ear pattern and the words "Military Investigation Office Executive Department" and "CPC Delegation".
The coat of arms was produced in a special historical period. After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 1945, the people of the whole country were eager to achieve peace, but the political situation at home and abroad changed unprecedentedly. At that time, the United States tried to achieve China's reunification under the leadership of the Kuomintang through peaceful means, and sent former Army Chief of Staff Admiral Marshall to China to "mediate" the dispute between the Kuomintang and the Communists. Previously, the Two Sides signed the Double Tenth Agreement on October 10, 1945. The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China decided to accept "mediation" in order to gain political initiative.
On January 10, 1946, the Two Sides formally signed the Agreement on the Cessation of Civil Military Conflict and issued an armistice order. According to the armistice agreement, the Military Investigation Office Executive Department composed of Communist Party representative Ye Jianying, Kuomintang representative Zheng Jiemin, and American representative Robertson was set up in Peiping, with its office located at The Union Hospital, which was specifically responsible for supervising the implementation of the armistice agreement. At that time, in order to clarify the identity, each person working in the Military Investigation Department was issued a badge.
This badge was worn by Zhao Guangchen when he joined the CCP mediation delegation in January 1946, and it was also used as a pass to enter and exit the military mediation office of The Union Hospital. Today, this badge not only records the glorious history of the party, but also becomes a historical witness of the unremitting efforts of the Communist Party of China in the pursuit of peace.
In 1949, Zhao Guangchen used and preserved the commemorative medal of the first plenary session of the Chinese Political Consultative Conference
The medallion, which is 3.2 centimeters in diameter in bronze and cast Chinese the emblem of the People's Political Consultative Conference on the obverse, is centered on a five-pointed star shining red, four red flags fluttering in the wind and a red map of China set off by a white earth, with a radiant azure canopy as a background, surrounded by tile-blue gears and golden ears of wheat connected by red ribbons. The whole pattern is solemn and rich, with profound political implications. The emblem of the Association embodies the spirit of "the great unity of the democratic strata led by the proletariat and based on the alliance of workers and peasants".
The emblem of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference was designed by the famous Chinese painters Zhang Tong and Zhou Lingzhao. The original description of the pattern by the designers is: first, the red star represents the leadership of the proletariat; second, the gear and jiahe represent the basis of the alliance of workers and peasants; the third and fourth red flags indicate the great alliance of the four classes (that is, the working class, the peasant class, the petty bourgeoisie, and the national bourgeoisie); and the fourth, the map represents new China, and the background is radiant. In addition, the four Arabic numerals of "1949" under the red star indicate the era number of the birth of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference; the 10 golden imitation Song characters of "Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference" on the red ribbon indicate the full name of the CPPCC. This design pattern was circulated by the standing committee members of the Preparatory Committee of the New CPPCC under the instructions of Comrade Zhou Enlai, and was formulated and approved by the Preparatory Committee of the New CPPCC in July 1949. Approved by Mao Zedong, it was officially used at the First Plenary Session of the Chinese Political Consultative Conference, which opened on September 21, 1949 in Huairen Hall, Zhongnanhai, and it is not only the badge of the delegates to the congress, but also the commemorative medal of the founding of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, which is of great significance.

According to the recollection of the elderly Zhao Guangchen, this badge is not only the badge of the deputies attending the congress, which has important commemorative significance, but also belongs to the pass badge, which can facilitate the combat personnel of the Central Military Commission to send important war report information into Zhongnanhai in a timely manner.
In 1951, Zhao Guangchen, chief of the Operations Department of the People's Revolutionary Military Commission of the Central People's Government, used and preserved the badge of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (cloth)
This Chinese people's liberation army badge is 8.2 centimeters long and 4 centimeters wide, with a white cloth bottom, a red line frame, and the words "Chinese people's liberation army" are written on it. The left vertical frame on the back is the name of the wearer Zhao Guangchen, and the right side is divided into three lines: 1. Department: Combat Department; 2. Rank: Section Chief; 3. Wear time and number: 1951 AD Pei Yong No. 188. It is also stamped with the red seal of the head of the issuing unit.
In June 1946, Chiang Kai-shek tore up the Double Tenth Agreement and launched a full-scale civil war. Our army had to cancel the names of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army and establish the Chinese People's Liberation Army. For a variety of reasons, the badges worn by the troops at that time were formulated and produced by the major military regions themselves, and the whole army was not uniform. It was not until February 1949, after the great victory in the Battle of Huaihai, that the Party Central Committee and the Central Military Commission decided to implement a uniform size and form of badge for the whole army, but behind it was "worn by the Republic of China for thirty-eight years". By the founding of the People's Republic of China on October 1, 1949, the badge was officially unified after the use of the Common Era Chronology. By October 1955, after the implementation of the rank of our army, the badge gradually withdrew from the stage of history.
Zhao Guangchen's son-in-law Zhang Jichang told reporters that this badge has accompanied Zhao Guangchen for nearly seventy years. It is an important historical material evidence of the revolutionary years of the elderly.
