The Glory Pavilion and Lenin's Platform

　　During the Agrarian Revolutionary War, the people of Caixi District achieved remarkable accomplishments in expanding the Red Army, supporting the front through production, and building the revolutionary base. In June 1933, the Fujian Provincial Soviet Government awarded Caixi District the honorary title of "First Model District" and presented a stone tablet inscribed with "We Are the First Model District." In July, to recognize the outstanding contributions of the Caixi people, the Fujian Provincial Soviet Government built the "Glory Pavilion" in the old Caixi market, placing the awarded stone tablet in the center of the pavilion. After the Long March of the Red Army, the reactionary Kuomintang reinstated control in Caixi, and the local people suffered severe devastation and oppression. The Glory Pavilion was completely destroyed by the enemy, but the honored stone tablet awarded by the Provincial Soviet Government was preserved by the people of Caixi at the risk of their lives. After the liberation of China, the Glory Pavilion was rebuilt, and Comrade Mao Zedong was invited to inscribe the three characters “Glory Pavilion.” It is said that this is one of only two pavilion inscriptions personally written by Mao Zedong in his lifetime.
