University maps 70 relics of Party’s establishment and revolutionary activities in Shanghai

SHANGHAI Normal University has mapped 70 relics of Chinese Communist Party's establishment and revolutionary activities in Shanghai, the university announced on a conference on Sunday.

The team led by the university's famous history professor Su Zhiliang spent four months on textual research and onsite investigation to confirm the relics and historical information related to the Party to draw the distribution map.

Based on an official Shanghai city map produced in 1920, it not only shows both the original and current addresses of the relics, but also their roles in the development of the Party.

The relics included former sites of some organizations of the Party, former residences of famous figures, social networks and places where major events took place.

They included some already widely known places, such as the site of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China, and some rarely known, including the East Asian Secretariat of the Communist International on No. 12 Tanggu Road, formerly known as Boone Road. Representatives of the Communist International had come to Shanghai to help establish the communist organization in China and set up the secretariat in May 1920.

Su also urged the government to further protect those areas with historical features as the origin of the Communist Party of China.
