The Memorial Hall of the Former Site of the CPC Taizhou Central County Committee, once the hub of revolutionary struggle in the Taizhou region, provided Party members an opportunity to deeply engage with history. Immersed in learning, they reflected on the courage, sacrifice, and unwavering determination of revolutionary martyrs during those tumultuous times, resonating with the hall’s powerful legacy of the revolution.

At the Wayao Revolutionary History Memorial Hall, located in Huanao Village, Tantou Town, Tiantai County, which was a key battleground of the armed struggle during the New Democratic Revolution in Eastern Zhejiang, participants were deeply moved by stories of Comrade Shi Ruifang. His efforts to raise funds for the Party by mortgaging his property as well as his active involvement in the Tongbai uprisings and guerrilla warfare exemplified the revolutionary forefathers’ selfless dedication, leaving a profound impression on everyone.

The visit to the Harmony Culture Park allowed the Party members to closely examine artifacts, photographs, and historical records related to “Harmony Culture.” They gained insights into how this abstract concept was brought to life through tangible content and learned about its historical evolution and rich spiritual significance. The experience deepened their appreciation for the enduring charm of Chinese traditional culture.

Through this themed Party Day event, the participating Party members vividly experienced the moving deeds of revolutionary martyrs and the profound appeal of Chinese traditional culture. Inspired by the revolutionary history and cultural heritage, they expressed their commitment to staying true to their original aspirations, drawing strength from these lessons, and transforming that inspiration into momentum to advance the University’s development in all areas.
