Luofang Conference Memorial Hall

　　The Luofang Conference Memorial Hall is situated on the banks of the Yuan River in Luofang Town, approximately 20 kilometers east of Xinyu City, Jiangxi Province. It lies adjacent to the Qingping Highway and the Zhejiang–Jiangxi Railway, enjoying highly convenient transportation. Established in 1973 and opened to the public on National Day in 1976, the memorial covers a construction area of 2,200 square meters and features an architectural complex primarily composed of traditional quadrangle-style buildings with distinct ethnic characteristics. The site includes gardens, ponds, and lush greenery, complemented by elegant statues; its corners and corridors are adorned with slender bamboos and exquisite potted plants. From any angle, the memorial appears as a fragrant world nestled within orange groves—a solemn and revered revolutionary shrine. The hall oversees eight revolutionary memorial sites, including the former site of the Chenjia'nao Luofang Conference, the former headquarters of the Red First Front Army in Yuian Village, and the former site of the Xingguo Investigation Conference in Pengzhou. The memorial houses six exhibition halls: the first to fourth halls display exhibits related to the Luofang Conference, while the fifth and sixth showcase the local revolutionary history of Xinyu. Additional facilities include a theater, library and reading room, telephone booth, reception room, and conference hall. The total length of exhibition panels across the site spans 180 meters, covering an area of 800 square meters. Through a rich array of artistic mediums—including documents, photographs, oil paintings, traditional Chinese paintings, watercolors, sculptures, screens, light boxes, slides, charts, replicas, precious relics, and TV documentaries—the memorial employs automated narration and modern presentation techniques such as sound, light, and electricity to highlight the great revolutionary practices of proletarian revolutionaries like Mao Zedong, Peng Dehuai, and others in Luofang during October 1930, as well as the decades-long revolutionary struggle history of Xinyu. The exhibition design is fresh and elegant, combining both overall cohesion and thematic unity. Its color scheme is vibrant yet harmonious, with an underlying sense of solemnity that immerses visitors in the historical atmosphere. On October 25, 1930, to determine the Red Army’s strategic direction and crush the first “encirclement and suppression” campaign launched by the enemy against the Central Soviet Area, Mao Zedong presided over a joint meeting of the General Front Committee of the Red First Front Army and the Jiangxi Provincial Committee in Chenjia'nao, Luofang, Xinyu County—historically known as the Luofang Conference. The Luofang Conference Memorial Hall is a specialized party history memorial and an important site for revolutionary tradition education. It also serves as a quaint scenic attraction in Xinyu City. Over the past 18 years since its opening, it has welcomed countless visitors from across the nation, including elderly veterans and officials with silver hair, as well as innocent children. Moreover, its serene and sacred ambiance attracts batches of refined scholars, poets, and painters. Many renowned calligraphers, such as Lin Sanzhi, Wu Zhongqi, and Shen Zuoyao, have contributed inscriptions and left their artistic legacies at the site. The Xinyu Municipal Government and its citizens regard the memorial as a source of pride and honor for the city. During holidays, crowds gather here to bask in the glory of the martyrs, reflect on their sacrifices, and grasp the profound meaning of “Socialism is good!” They are determined to uphold and pass on the revolutionary spirit for generations to come.
