Experience

Li Dazhao, Mao Zedong, Lin Boqu and Qu Qiubai, Communists of the former site of the first National Congress of the Kuomintang, participated in the leadership of the Congress and were elected executive members and alternate executive members of the first Central Committee of the Kuomintang.

The Congress successfully completed the scheduled task, and the Kuomintang was reorganized into a political party of the alliance of revolutionary classes, which marked the establishment of the revolutionary united front of Kuomintang communist cooperation against imperialism and feudalism, and became a new starting point for the national revolutionary climax. Since then, Sun Yat Sen has explained the three people's principles here every week. The bell tower auditorium and square have become the central place where leaders of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party often attend mass meetings, so they are known as the "base camp of the revolution".
