Red cradle

In the revolutionary tide of national independence and people's liberation that rose in China in the 1920s and 1930s, Jiangxi was the base camp of the agrarian revolution led by the Communist Party of China and the center of the Chinese revolution. The Chinese Communists, represented by Mao Zedong, carried out an unprecedented and arduous revolutionary struggle in Jiangxi, and created a new situation of the Chinese revolution. Jiangxi is therefore known as the "red cradle" of the Chinese revolution. In the form of pictures and objects, this exhibition shows Anyuan, the place where the modern labor movement took place, Nanchang, the place where the first military flag of the people's army was raised, Jinggangshan, the earliest and largest revolutionary base in China, and Ruijin, the cradle of the Republic.

Anyuan -- the birthplace of Chinese workers' movement

Anyuan, Pingxiang, is the birthplace of modern Chinese labor movement. In September 1922, Mao Zedong, Li Lisan and Liu Shaoqi led the people's Congress strike of Anyuan road miners, which shocked the world. It showed the great strength of the Chinese working class to unite and fight under the leadership of the Communist Party of China. After 1923, the national workers' movement turned into a low tide. However, Anyuan workers still insisted on struggle and became the only flag of the national workers' movement at that time. In the autumn of 1927, Anyuan workers took part in the Autumn Harvest Uprising again, took the lead in the armed uprising and the road of "workers and peasants armed separatism", and wrote a glorious chapter in the history of Chinese workers' movement.

Nanchang: the cradle of the people's army

Nanchang, the hero city, is "the place where the military flag rises" and the cradle of the people's army. On August 1, 1927, under the leadership and command of Zhou Enlai, he long, Ye Ting, Zhu De and Liu Bocheng, the uprising forces led by the Communist Party of China launched the Nanchang Uprising and launched the first shot of armed resistance against the Kuomintang reactionaries. This shocking gunshot marks the beginning of the Chinese Communist Party's independent leadership of the armed struggle and the establishment of the people's army. Hunting for the rising military flag calls on countless revolutionaries and the masses of workers and peasants to take up arms and fight bloody battles, thus changing the fate of China in the 20th century.

Jinggangshan -- the cradle of Chinese revolution

Jinggangshan is the cradle of Chinese revolution. In 1927, Mao Zedong ignited the spark of "the armed separatist regime of workers and peasants" here and created the first rural revolutionary base. The Chinese Communists, represented by Mao Zedong, began to independently apply the principles of Marxism, combined with China's specific national conditions, to explore a correct way to establish a stable revolutionary base in areas where the reactionary rule was relatively weak, encircle cities with rural areas, and finally seize the national power by armed forces.
