When you delve into the history of China, especially modern Chinese history, you'll find that Shanghai holds a pivotal position. The Communist Youth League of China was established in Shanghai, and the Central Committee of the League was also initially headquartered there. On August 22, 1922, Yu Xiushun and others founded the Shanghai Socialist Youth League in a stone gatehouse at No. 567 Huaihai Road, Yuyangli. After the establishment of the Socialist Youth League of China in early 1921, the Central Committee of the League was set up in No. 6 Yuyangli.
Shanghai is home to countless footsteps of revolutionaries, including the residences of the great leader Mao Zedong and Comrade Zhou Enlai, the former residence of the cultural giant Lu Xun, the former residence of the revolutionary Sun Yat-sen, and the former residence and mausoleum of the great communist fighter and Honorary President of the People's Republic of China, Soong Ching-ling. There are also the former residence of the outstanding cultural warrior, publisher, and journalist Zou Taofen in modern Chinese history.
Shanghai is a city with a glorious revolutionary tradition. In this sense: Shanghai is red!
