Shanghai History Museum holds new exhibition to celebrate CPC's 100th birthday

An exhibition of cultural relics and historical photos showcasing the development of Shanghai over the past century will run through Oct 7 at the Shanghai History Museum to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China this year.

A total of 139 historical items are on show at the exhibition, titled Original Aspirations and Better Life. Thirty-eight of these exhibits are being displayed to the public for the first time. These exhibits include leaflets for the May 30 Movement, which was started after a Japanese leader from a Shanghai-Japanese textile factory killed a Chinese worker on May 15, 1925.
