The museum authentically records the hard-fought and pioneering history of a heroic group—mainly represented by demobilized officers and soldiers of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, returned overseas Chinese, educated youth, civilian workers, and scientific and technical professionals—over the past half-century. It artistically presents the miracle created by Hainan Nongken personnel in successfully cultivating natural rubber on a large scale north of the 18th parallel and establishing China’s largest natural rubber production base. The red footprints never fade, and the fervor forged a green monument.
The museum is located in Haikou City, Hainan Province, with an exhibition area of 3,800 square meters. It consists of nine exhibition halls: the Preface Hall, Monument Tribute, Military Reclamation Chronicles, Loyal Hearts, Educated Youth Sentiments, Spirit of Hainan Nongken, Tide of Reform, Care and Concern Chapter, and Science Popularization Window. Since its opening in January 2011, it has welcomed over 100,000 visitors from within and outside the province, as well as from both domestic and international locations, receiving widespread acclaim. Its rich collection includes tools used during the pioneering period of China’s natural rubber industry, cultural relics that bear witness to the history of Hainan Nongken, and physical objects that comprehensively reflect the footsteps of New China’s founding leaders and marshals, as well as the character and moral integrity of Hainan Nongken personnel. These precious cultural relics and historical photographs greatly enrich the exhibitions and enhance their depth of content.
