Touch the Pulse of History and Feel the Revolutionary Spirit

　　From June 24 to 26, 2025, the Party Branch of Zhejiang Dasheng Holding Group Co., Ltd., in collaboration with the Party Branch of Zhejiang Daneng Textile Printing and Dyeing Co., Ltd., organized a themed Party Day activity for all Party members and key managerial personnel, taking them on a “Red Revolutionary Journey” to Jiangxi Province. The journey spanned from Nanchang’s storied revolutionary heritage to the ethereal sea of clouds at Mount Lushan, embarking on an odyssey that traversed both history and nature.
Day One: Gunshots Across Time and Space
　　On the banks of the Gan River lies Nanchang, Jiangxi—a city of heroes. Our first stop takes us right here. Nanchang is a nationally renowned historical and cultural city; it was the birthplace of the August 1st Nanchang Uprising in 1927, when the Chinese Communist Party’s first independently led people’s army was born, earning it the title “the place where the military flag was raised.” As we step into the August 1st Uprising Memorial Hall, it feels as though we’ve passed through a tunnel of time. This gray five‑story building, which carries the spark of China’s revolutionary spirit, still bears the indelible marks of that thrilling night in 1927. Behind glass cases, the pocket watch once worn by He Long stands frozen at the moment of the uprising, while the barrel of Zhu De’s Mauser rifle gleams with a cold sheen—each artifact silently recounting the legend of “the first shot.” The exhibition, themed “A Great Beginning” and centered on the path to building a strong military, traces the glorious journey of the People’s Liberation Army—from its humble origins at the August 1st Uprising to its rise from weakness to strength. Outside the memorial hall, on the Founding of the Army Sculpture Plaza, thirty groups of bronze figures come vividly to life, evoking scenes of the rebel forces charging into battle. As fine rain falls upon the “August 1st Military Flag” sculpture, it lends an added air of solemn intensity.
　　Just a ten-minute walk from the memorial hall, the Tengwang Pavilion—known as “the foremost of the Three Great Pavilions of Jiangnan”—comes into view. First built in the fourth year of the Yonghui era of the Tang Dynasty, it derives its name from Li Yuanying, the younger brother of Emperor Taizong of Tang. It has been celebrated through the ages thanks to Wang Bo’s famous verse: “The setting sun and the solitary wild duck fly together; autumn waters share the same hue as the vast sky.” Alongside the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan, Hubei, and the Yueyang Tower in Hunan, it is regarded as one of the “Three Great Pavilions of Jiangnan.” The Tengwang Pavilion features a distinctive “three above, seven below” layout: the main pavilion above the base is a three‑story structure with surrounding corridors, while the interior comprises seven levels—three visible floors, three hidden floors, and the attic.

The Second Day: Red Annual Rings Amid the Mist and Clouds
　　At our second stop, we arrived at Mount Lu in Jiujiang. Renowned worldwide for its grandeur,奇ness, danger, and beauty, Mount Lu has long been celebrated as “the most extraordinary of all mountains under heaven.” Its majestic slopes rise in towering peaks, shrouded in mist and clouds, evoking the very essence of a fairyland. We ascended along winding mountain paths, visiting sites immortalized in poetry: the Flower Path where Bai Juyi once composed his verses; the Ripples Lake, its emerald waters gently rippling like a zither; the Brocade Valley, one of Mount Lu’s most exquisite ravines; the Perilous Peaks, where Chairman Mao penned his own poetic reflections; and the Immortal Cave, said to be the place where Lü Dongbin attained enlightenment. Along the way, the scenery unfolded like a series of breathtaking paintings, dazzling the eye with every step. The waterfalls of Mount Lu are nothing short of spectacular—especially the Three‑Tiered Spring, famed with the saying, “Until you’ve seen the Three‑Tiered Spring, you cannot truly call yourself a visitor to Mount Lu.” Cascading down from great heights, the torrents resemble thousands upon thousands of galloping horses, their sheer power awe‑inspiring. Standing before the falls, basking in their mighty presence, all worries and weariness seem to vanish, leaving only a profound sense of reverence and wonder for nature. Beyond its stunning topography, Mount Lu boasts a rich cultural heritage. Lines such as “A thousand feet of water plunges straight down, seeming like the Milky Way falling from the heavens” and “One cannot see the true face of Mount Lu, for one is standing within its midst” have been etched into the annals of Chinese literature by generations of poets and scholars. As you stroll along the mountain’s trails, each step feels like a dialogue with history, as if you could hear the ancient voices of those who came before.
　　We also visited Villa No. 1, Lulin, where Chairman Mao once stayed at the foot of Mount Lu. Chiang Kai-shek delivered numerous addresses to officers of the Kuomintang army from this very spot, making it an important base for cultivating and training key cadres. After the founding of New China, the building was renamed the Lushan People’s Theater, and in 1959, 1961, and 1970, the CPC Central Committee convened three meetings there.
Day Three: A Clear Mirror of History
　　Amid the morning mist, we followed a winding trail to a place that Chairman Mao cherished above all others—Hanpo Pass. Standing at Hanpo Pass and gazing into the distance, the jagged silhouette of Wulao Peak resembled a giant lying on its back. Clouds and mist swirled among the peaks, which appeared and vanished in the haze, like a living ink‑wash painting. The ever‑changing mists lent Lushan an air of mystery, transporting visitors into a dreamlike realm, leaving them spellbound and entranced.
　　Beyond its natural splendor, Lushan’s cultural and historical attractions are equally captivating. The former site of the Lushan Conference—a solemn and dignified structure—stands as a witness to pivotal moments in modern Chinese history. Here, the tumultuous currents of the past converged, and many momentous decisions and historic events unfolded quietly. Step inside: the spacious conference hall, the weathered desks and chairs, and the historical photographs on the walls seem to silently recount tales of yore, inviting visitors into contemplation and evoking a sense of awe at the passage of time and the vicissitudes of history. Nearby, Meilu Villa entices countless travelers with its distinctive charm. Once a retreat for leaders from both the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, this villa seamlessly blends Eastern and Western architectural styles. Its grounds are shaded by lush trees and adorned with vibrant blossoms, exuding an atmosphere of serene tranquility and peaceful harmony.
　　This journey is drawing to a close, yet the memories this land has left behind shine like brilliant stars, unlikely to fade from the night sky of our minds. Nanchang’s red‑heritage sites and its modern vibrancy complement one another, while Lushan’s majestic landscapes and natural wonders leave visitors spellbound. This feast of culture and nature has undoubtedly gifted us a truly unique travel experience.
