Tianjin Juewu Society Memorial Hall

　　Tianjin Juewu Society Memorial Hall is a red memorial museum built on the site of a revolutionary relic, with distinctive features and a clear theme.

　　The Juewu Society was a progressive youth group that emerged during the climax of the May Fourth Movement. It had twenty members, equally divided between men and women, including key figures in Tianjin at the time such as Zhou Enlai, Ma Jun, Liu Qingyang, Deng Yingchao, and Guo Longzhen. The members broke free from feudal constraints, united to fight together, studied new ideologies here, explored truths for saving the nation and its people, and actively participated in practical struggles. They became the leading core of the anti-imperialist movement in Tianjin and enjoyed high prestige among the revolutionary organizations in northern China.

　　In 2012, adhering to the principle of “restoring the old as it was,” the memorial hall renovated the main structure of the historic site and upgraded its exhibition displays, further highlighting the unique characteristics of a commemorative museum. The renovated memorial hall has an overall layout of three courtyards with three connected sections, featuring gray-tiled green brick walls and a brick-and-wood structure. The current exhibitions are divided into two parts: restored displays and supplementary displays.

　　I. Restored Displays

　　The restored displays make full use of the unique advantages of the original Juewu Society site. Based on the recollections of former members and associates of the Juewu Society such as Deng Yingchao, Guan Yiwen, and Li Yuru, along with relevant historical document research, the east and west wing rooms have been restored. The west wing room is a suite with inner and outer sections, furnished with furniture from the Republican era, such as rattan chairs, desks, brass beds, and the Four Treasures of the Study—everyday items that recreate the living environment of a wealthy family in the 1920s, offering visitors an authentic historical backdrop. The east wing room is a spacious open space that was the original activity site of the Juewu Society members. Its exterior wall features a plaque labeled “Site of the Juewu Society.” Inside, there are bookshelves, a coat rack, newspaper racks, and two parallel Eight Immortals tables in the center of the room, on which are placed the iron plate and paper lots used by members for drawing lots, reproducing the scene of activities carried out by the society members.

　　II. Supplementary Displays

　　The supplementary displays utilize three connected main rooms converted into an exhibition hall, forming a continuous exhibit route. The exhibition is arranged chronologically and is divided into three relatively independent sections, each forming a coherent system. The first section is a background introduction titled “Laying the Foundation – Withstanding the Tempest of the May Fourth Movement”; the second section is the core content, titled “The Birth of Awakening – Searching for the Path of Social Transformation”; the third section is titled “Trials by Fire – Choosing Different Life Paths.”

　　Since the reopening of the memorial hall following the reorganization of its exhibitions, it has received over 100,000 visitors from all walks of life and has been highly praised by experts, scholars, and the public. It has become one of the city’s important bases for patriotic education.
