Former Site of the Guangdong-Guangxi Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China

0Former Site of the Guangdong-Guangxi Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China. After the Red Army achieved victory in the Fourth Counter-Encirclement Campaign, the Soviet area continued to expand. To facilitate administrative command and develop the revolutionary war on the southern front, as well as to develop tungsten mining and trade between the Soviet and non-Soviet areas, on August 16, 1933, the 48th meeting of the Central People's Committee decided to establish the Guangdong-Guangxi Province in Huichang. It governed seven counties—Yudu, Huichang, Xijiang, Xunwu, Anyuan, Xinkang—as well as the Xinglong County Committee, Wuxi Working Committee, and Xinkang-Guang County Committee. The extended guerrilla zones covered vast areas across counties in the Fujian-Guangdong-Guangxi border region. From late August to early September, a provisional provincial committee and the Provincial Soviet Government were successively established. On November 4, the First Congress of the Guangdong-Guangxi Province was held at the Chen Ancestral Hall in Lin'gang Dam, where 37 members of the Provincial Executive Committee were elected, with Liu Xiao serving as secretary. The provincial committee office was located at the Zou Residence in Wenwuba, and it irregularly published the provincial party newspaper “Frontline” and the “Provincial Committee Bulletin.”
After the establishment of the Guangdong-Guangxi Province, 550,000 soldiers and civilians on the southern front actively engaged in developing the revolutionary war, advancing the Soviet economic construction, and promoting social programs under the leadership of the 0Guangdong-Guangxi Provincial Committee. They made significant contributions to smashing the enemy’s Fifth Counter-Encirclement Campaign and supporting the Long March of the Central Red Army.
The site is a late Qing dynasty ancestral hall of the Zou family, featuring a single-courtyard layout with upper and lower halls. It is 29.5 meters wide and 28.5 meters deep, with a total of 46 rooms including side wings and upper floors, covering an area of 840 square meters.
