Shanghai Liberation Memorial Hall

Shanghai Liberation Memorial Hall

The Shanghai Liberation Memorial Hall is a Shanghai Municipal Cultural Heritage Site, a classic red tourism destination, and a patriotic education base.

The Shanghai Liberation Memorial Hall is located on the eastern side within the Baoshan Martyrs' Cemetery. Its name was inscribed by General [Name Redacted], and it officially opened on May 26, 2006. The exhibition hall covers an area of approximately 1,500 square meters and consists of a foyer, main exhibition hall, and a large multimedia-themed scenario theater.

The exhibition display centers around the strategic decision of “pinching off Wusong and liberating Shanghai” during the Shanghai Campaign, highlighting how the People's Liberation Army lured the main forces of the Kuomintang defenders to the suburbs and annihilated them, thereby preserving the urban areas of Shanghai. The foyer features three major artistic elements: a sculptural installation depicting the PLA’s pincer offensive and advancing troops, a thematic sculpture, and a pillar of merit. Together, they symbolize the heroic and bloody struggle of the PLA that led to the great victory in the Shanghai Campaign—a historical moment the people will forever remember. The main exhibition hall contains nearly 200 photographs and over 100 artifacts, as well as dynamic displays created using advanced sound, light, and electricity technologies. These include restored battle scenes, multimedia holographic imaging, film clips, reconstructed models of KMT defensive fortifications such as bunkers and deep trenches, along with oil paintings and sculptures portraying the brave images of PLA officers and soldiers. The large multimedia-themed scenario theater for “Pinching off Wusong and Liberating Shanghai” combines traditional scene construction with modern multimedia techniques such as holographic imaging, video projection, and sound-light-electric simulation technologies. It recreates specific battle scenes from the Shanghai Campaign, delivering a profound educational experience through intense audiovisual impact.

His influence extends globally, especially across Southeast Asia, making him one of the world’s cultural icons.
