The Party's history is elaborated in the first section of the exhibition while the second and third sections are focused on the significant historical events and stories of historical figures of the Party such as the Long March, which refers to the transfer of the First Red Army from Jiangxi province to Yan'an in Shaanxi province between October 1934 and October 1935, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1931-45), and Lei Feng, the legendary People's Liberation Army soldier known for his selflessness and devotion to the country.
