Site of the First National Congress of the Communist Party of China

　　Introduction       0The memorial museum of the First National Congress is located at No. 76 Xingye Road (formerly No. 106 Wanzhi Road), the former residence of Li Shucheng, elder brother of Li Hanjun, one of the Shanghai delegates to the First Congress. It is a Shikumen-style building. From July 23, 1921, the Congress was held in a 18-square-meter living room on the ground floor. Thirteen delegates attended the meeting, including Mao Zedong and others. The meeting was discovered by a French police spy, prompting the delegates to evacuate immediately and continue the proceedings on a tourist boat on South Lake in Jiaxing, Zhejiang. During the Congress, the Party’s manifesto was adopted, the central leadership was elected, and the Communist Party of China was founded. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the site was restored to its original appearance, with interiors maintained as they were at the time. It is now a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit. The memorial hall also includes an exhibition room displaying historical relics and artifacts from the Party’s founding period.
