Walking in the ordinary alley of Beisha Village, Lishui Town, Nanhai District, there is a traditional Lingnan building with green bricks and gray tiles, although it has been mottled by the years, it is still simple and thick, that is the former site of the Cpc's South Sanhua Working Committee.
In 1946, Shencun Primary School was opened here, where Du Lu, Shen Shaogang and other party members took cover as teachers and carried out secret activities, and the underground struggle for water in the liberation war began. Here, there have been elegant scholars who have chanted poems, gathered heroic fighters with iron bones, and carried the glory days of the Underground Revolutionary Struggle of the Communist Party of China.

Today, the smoke of history has dissipated, and the "Historical Exhibition of the South Sanhua Working Committee of the Communist Party of China" has also been held in the old site, which displays sculptures, photos and revolutionary stories of revolutionary predecessors, and their glorious deeds are also widely circulated in the South China Sea.

Entering the "Yuwen Shen GongShu School", the roof is exquisitely sculpted, the doors and windows are vividly patterned, and the sculpture of the collective charge of the revolutionary heroes in front of the inner hall recreates the scene of that year and also tells us that there was an extraordinary history here.
According to historical records, in 1945, after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Independent Third Brigade of the Pearl River Column advanced into northern Guangdong, and the Kuomintang authorities attempted to steal the achievements of the revolution and repeatedly liquidated the Pearl River Delta region. The CCP's South China Sea organization was undermined and forced to suspend its activities. Subsequently, Shen Shaogang, a party member appointed by the CPC Guangzhou Municipal Committee, returned to his hometown of Shencun to carry out revolutionary activities. In order to find a suitable activity base, Shen Shaogang traveled throughout the village and found that the structure of Yuwen Shen Gongshu Wasle in all directions, with a total of 11 doorways and 3 east-west passages, suitable for the evacuation of the crowd, he chose to set up a Shencun Primary School here to carry out revolutionary activities in the name of running a school.

In February 1946, the CPC Guangzhou MunicipalIty appointed Du Lu as the CPC South China Sea Commissioner to restore the CCP's South China Sea organization. After Du Lu arrived in Nanhai, through the relationship of Shen Shaogang, a member of the Communist Party, he taught at the Shencun Primary School in Lishui, and successively accepted the organizational relations of Party members Cai Jinping, He Yuanchi, Chen Kunyi, Zhu Muzhan, Yang Run, Zhang Zhujun, and Zeng Haibo, who were working in Nanhai County, and resumed organizational activities. Except for a small number of party members who broke into some departments of the Nanhai County government of the Kuomintang, most of the party members and cadres were scattered in urban and rural schools, using their status as teachers as cover, carrying out secret activities, and leading the masses in carrying out revolutionary struggles. Since then, the revolutionary struggle of the people of the South China Sea has been revived under the leadership of the underground organization of the CPC.

In May 1949, the Cpc South (Sea) Three (Water) Flower (County) Working Committee was established to strengthen the leadership of the underground party organizations in Nanhai, Sanshui and Hua County. The Party's leading organs were changed from the special commissioner system to the Party committee system. The working committee, code-named "White Goose Pond", is subordinate to the Pearl River Prefectural Committee of the CPC, with Du Lu as secretary, Chen Qirui as deputy secretary, Shen Shaogang as an officer, and the leading organ of the work committee is located in Shencun.

After the establishment of the Nansanhua Working Committee of the CPC, it organized and mobilized the masses to carry out the struggle against the "three levies" (conscription, grain collection, and harsh taxes) in accordance with local conditions, and then strengthened mass organizations such as peasant associations and women's associations; held military training classes, formed the Nanhai(Hai) Sanhua (County) people's guerrilla group, and actively cooperated in plotting the uprising of the second company of anti-police protection; set up secret liaison stations, mimeograph rooms, and so on, to carry out mimeographing, intelligence, and communications and liaison work. In accordance with the arrangements made by its superiors, the CPC's South Sanhua Work Committee also investigated the geographical conditions, surveyed the terrain, drew maps, launched a united front and plotted a rebellion, and actively made preparations for liberation.
On October 15, 1949, foshan Town, the county seat of Nanhai County, was liberated. The next day, the Nansanhua People's Guerrilla Group received a notice from the CPC's Nansanhua Working Committee to leave the garrison and assemble in Sanshui to cooperate with the PLA in suppressing bandits, and on the 18th it was reorganized into the Sanshui Independent Battalion of the Guangdong-Gansu-Xiangbian Column of the Chinese People's Liberation Army. Since then, the Nansanhua People's Guerrilla Group has thrown itself into a new battle with a new attitude.
By December, Nanhai, Sanshui, and Huaxian counties had established county committees, and the CPC's Nansanhua Working Committee had completed its historical tasks and was abolished.
Renovate the old site to promote the spirit
"Patriotic base red north sand" into the internet celebrity punch point
An inch of mountains and rivers, an inch of blood, a hot soil and a soul. Although revolutionary struggle has become history, the revolutionary spirit has not faded with the passage of time and has not been dimmed by the changes of the times.
General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out: "Revolutionary traditional resources are the precious spiritual wealth of our party, and every red tourist attraction is a vivid classroom that is always learned and renewed, containing rich political wisdom and moral nourishment." ”
In 1993, local villagers spontaneously raised funds to repair the old site. In 1994, the former site of the South Sanhua Working Committee of the Communist Party of China was announced as a cultural relics protection unit and patriotic education base in the South China Sea. In 1995, the Nanhai Municipal Government allocated funds to repair the old site. In 1997, it was announced as the patriotic education base of Foshan City. In 2006, it was announced as a cultural relics protection unit of Foshan City. In 2017, it was announced by the Organization Department of Foshan Municipal Party Committee as the education base for party members in Foshan. In 2019, under the tide of implementing the strategy of rural revitalization, Lishui took cultural conservation as the goal and repaired and renovated the old site, so that the old site of the South Sanhua Working Committee of the Communist Party of China not only highlighted the architectural charm of Lingnan, but also enhanced the sense of substitution of the masses for the revolutionary era.
In 2020, the newly restored site of the CPC Nansanhua Working Committee was reopened to the public, and the history exhibition of the CPC Nansanhua Working Committee was set up, which was divided into five chapters, including the prologue, the birth of the party, the hidden front, the revolutionary achievements and the entry into the new era, detailing the arduous struggle process of the CPC South China Sea Organization during the liberation war and the achievements of party building in the new era. The museum displays sculptures and photographs of revolutionary predecessors, and visitors can not only see kerosene lamps and old kettles from the war years, but also see old-fashioned handmade ink printing presses to further understand the process of secretly printing propaganda leaflets by Communists and progressive masses.

Today, the old site has become a classroom for the broad masses of party members and young people to relive the revolutionary history and receive education in revolutionary traditions and patriotism. "Listen to the recent history of the sages, and feel the original intention of keeping the road ahead"... The reporter found that the "evaluation record book" at the entrance recorded the visitors' perception of studying party history, traced the red mark in history, remembered the red family tree, felt the original intention of the revolution, thanked today's happy life for its hard-won success, and absorbed the strength to move forward in continuous struggle.
As one of the first 12 brand villages built by the rural revitalization of Lishui Town, Beisha Village has been given the brand of "Patriotic Base Red Beisha" with the historical background of the old revolutionary area as the core. A 30-acre shuangyong park has also been built here. There are themed sculptures, fish and water promenades, sanwei garden, oath platform and expansion area in the park, with the glorious history of the Cpc South Sanhua Working Committee as the main line, creating a number of patriotic, military and civilian education scenes, creating a patriotic education base and a demonstration area of Red Revolution culture that integrates excursions, visits, experiences, interactions and learning, and has also become a well-known Internet celebrity punching point.
