The Memorial Hall of "Without the Communist Party, There Would Be No New China"

The Memorial Hall of "Without the Communist Party, There Would Be No New China" serves as a patriotic education base.

In October 1943, amid the flames of anti-Japanese resistance in Pingshan, Comrade Cao Huoxing composed this song of truth — "Without the Communist Party, There Would Be No New China" — in Tangshang Village, Xiayunling Township. In 2001, the Xiayunling Township government and Tangshang Village invested millions to renovate and restore the birthplace of the lyrics and melody of "Without the Communist Party, There Would Be No New China." They established an exhibition hall dedicated to the creation site and built a commemorative sculpture in the courtyard themed "Without the Communist Party, There Would Be No New China." In March 2002, the creation site was designated as a municipal-level patriotic education base by the Beijing Patriotic Education Leadership Group. On June 26, 2006, the new "Without the Communist Party, There Would Be No New China" Memorial Hall was completed. The main building covers an area of 1,800 square meters, the singing stage spans 4,000 square meters, the parking lot is 2,200 square meters, road construction extends 850 meters, and the large-scale thematic exhibition occupies 1,100 square meters. The memorial hall adopts a mountain-conforming, single-story connected architectural style, reflecting the characteristics of traditional mountain residences in Pingshan. It is divided into three zones: A, B, and C. The large thematic exhibition is divided into three parts, utilizing a combination of traditional and modern artistic techniques including text, photography, painting, bas-relief, wax figures, and holographic imaging. The entire exhibition displays 800 photographs, one oil painting, one large bas-relief, one wax figure, and one holographic image. The memorial hall can accommodate up to 500 visitors at a time.
