Beijing News Express (reporter Ma Jinqian intern Jiang Yue) On January 3, the "Hundred Rivers Return to the Sea, the People First -- A Special Exhibition on the Practice of Consultative Nation-Building Led by the Communist Party of China in the Xiangshan Period" opened at the Xiangshan Revolution Memorial Hall. Nearly 260 historical pictures and more than 310 pieces (sets) of precious cultural relics and documents were exhibited in this exhibition, and cultural relics such as witnesses to the First National Congress of Chinese Women were also publicly exhibited for the first time.
Focusing on this theme, the Xiangshan Revolution Memorial Hall expanded the ways and scope of cultural relics collection, searched and excavated a number of important cultural relics and historical materials, and exhibited a series of rare archives of the New Cppcc Conference, a series of documents reflecting the restoration or establishment of various people's organizations in New China, some foreign newspapers and periodicals that published reports on the founding of New China, and the salute cannon used at the founding ceremony.
Gui Xingxing, deputy director of the Cultural Relics Collection and Research Department of the Xiangshan Revolution Memorial Hall, introduced the representative cultural relics of the special exhibition to the Beijing News reporter. Among them, in 1949, Niu Yuhua, a member of the East China Women's Delegation, participated in the notebook used by the First National Congress of Chinese Women and the Journal of the First National Congress of Chinese Women (a full set of 7 issues) preserved by Niu Yuhua, which was exhibited to the public for the first time. These two exhibits are important witnesses to the First National Congress of Chinese Women and have far-reaching historical significance.

In addition, the stills of the founding song and dance "Long Live the People's Victory" performed during the closing period of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference were also exhibited in this special exhibition. "Long Live the People's Victory" is a large-scale song and dance work created to welcome new China, and is a historical witness of the CPC Central Committee's preparation of the new CPPCC and the preparation of a new China in Xiangshan.
