"Be the best breadmaker"

Shanghai is the birthplace of the party and the place where the original intention originated, and the first, second and fourth congresses of the Communist Party of China were held in Shanghai in 1921, 1922 and 1925 respectively. The curators said that the process of reforming and arranging the three venues is actually an experience of re-sorting out history and revisiting the original intention.

"In the past six months, what we are most happy to see is that there are more young people." Tong Ke said that each cultural relic carries the ups and downs of history and the belief of revolutionary martyrs. In the main exhibition hall of the four memorial halls, there is a replica of the self-defense pistol that Li Dazhao used that year, and many viewers like to stop here to watch, and the pistol pulls out the story behind it, "This gun was retrieved from Li Dazhao when he was arrested in 1927, in order not to involve his wife and children, he did not shoot ... When he was hanged for the second time, Comrade Li Dazhao shouted out the four words of "strive to do it quickly," which embodied the fearless revolutionary qualities of our revolutionaries in the early days of the founding of the party. ”

Xue Feng introduced that the museum was originally under the premise that human traffic information is not very developed, so that people can explore the world in a specific space; and the memorial hall is to present a specific period of history, irreproducible things, "the memorial hall has its own unique place, cultural relics quietly there, it carries history, condensed is the spirit." ”

However, Xue Feng pointed out that the audience's perception of words and objects is not the same, and a small number of people can quickly feel and understand the hardships of the revolutionary struggle; while most of the remaining people need to be further "re-transformed".

"We can't just be watchmen in the wheat fields, the revolutionary historical relics we guard are precious, but if we can't effectively transform them into products that attract audiences to digest and absorb, then our work has not yet been done." Therefore, we have our own goals, to change from the watchman in the wheat field to the best bread maker, under the advanced advance of the unchanged essential characteristics of revolutionary cultural relics, from its shape, the taste that emanates from it, and the intuitive feeling it gives people, so that ordinary audiences can directly understand and absorb it. Xue Feng said.

To this end, the First Congress launched an immersive revolutionary drama "Gunshots on Sinan Road" at the Sinan Mansion, which told the negotiation between the Communist Party of China and the Kuomintang represented by Comrade Zhou Enlai in 1946, and every audience member who watched the drama was an actor, and in the process of participating in the performance, they felt the original intention and mission of the communists; the four were also exploring the transformation of red culture, shooting the video story of "The Source of Strength , Red 100" in a way that young people liked to hear, telling the history of the party in Shanghainese, reflecting the red gene in Shanghai's Shanghai culture.

Heritage and vitality

Looking ahead to the new year, the three venues will continue to tap into historical resources and innovate working methods.

"The cpc's hundred years have been a course of development, and our party constitution hall is also alive." You Wei said that next year is the centenary of the Second National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the centenary of the formulation of the first Party Constitution, and the convening of the Twentieth National Congress, so in the second half of 2022, the new Party Constitution will be presented in the new Party Constitution Hall, "this Party Constitution Hall is full of vitality."

Xue Feng believes that the history of the Communist Party of China is not only of practical significance to the current era and to all party members, but also has strong spiritual value for all mankind, "We must dare to present the most precious things to the whole world." On the exhibition wall, a large university and university cooperated to translate the content on the wall in English; in the automatic interpreter, there are already two languages, and it will be expanded to seven languages.

Xue Feng also revealed that there are 612 cultural relics in a large exhibition hall, but the actual collection has more than 120,000 pieces. Two months ago, the First National Congress launched the activity of "a hundred things into a hundred schools and a hundred lectures and a hundred years", sorted out the historical context of the history of the CPC's century-old struggle, selected the corresponding 100 cultural relics, and brought the original cultural relics into the classrooms of universities, primary and secondary schools, so that teachers and students could understand the story of cultural relics. Each time, the salute soldier kicked and walked to carry the cultural relics box, very solemn, "The children's eyes are staring." Even if they come to the memorial a few times, they may not be as impressive as the interaction with the artifacts in class."

Tong Ke said that the four major universities this year to create Shanghai's first international education exhibition hall, the first two years held a national primary and secondary school students international painting competition "to add color to the national flag", next year, "to add color to the national flag", "sing for the national flag" and the national flag raising competition will continue to be carried out, so that the red gene will be passed on to the next generation.
