Site of the First National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party

 

The Site of the First National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party is located at No.76, Xingye Road, Luwan District in Shanghai City. It is a two-storeyed building. The living room downstairs is the place where the First National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party was held.

After the May Fourth Movement, many Communist groups emerged nationwide. On July 23, 1921, thirteen Communist groups that were selected from all the Communist groups nationwide and represented over 50 Communists in the country held the First National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party. The Communist International also dispatched two deputies to the congress. On July 30, disturbed by a detective from the Police Bureau in the French Concession, the meeting place had to be moved to a yacht on Jiaxing Lake in Zhejiang Province on the last day. The congress approved the founding of the Chinese Communist Party, passed the Communist Party's Constitution, and elected the central organization. From then on, the Chinese revolution entered a new era.
