Zunyi: Hot chilies, red sorghum and Red Army

The slogans were so concise, catchy and easy to understand that the political ideas of the Party and the aims of the Red Army quickly resonated with the local people.

Since 1949, the city has collected doors with slogans, posters and written folk songs and stored these historical artifacts in the exhibition hall.

Recognizing the fading handwriting, the audience's attentive expressions gradually turn into knowing smiles, bridging the generations and the history of the Red Army.

Nurture red culture

Li Zhijing, 34, a local resident, came to the exhibition hall with his 10-year-old daughter and 6-year-old son recently.

"Over the past few years, I have often taken my children to visit red historical sites and listen to the historical stories, so that they can truly understand the history of the Red Army and develop a correct view of history," he says.
