To celebrate the 97th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Liberation Army and pay tribute to the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the “Glory of a Hundred Generals: Calligraphy and Painting in Praise of Splendor” exhibition—jointly organized by the Changzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone Bureau of Education, Culture, Sports, and Tourism; the Changzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone Bureau of Veterans’ Affairs; and the Changzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone People’s Armed Forces Office, and co-hosted by the Changzhou Hengshan Museum and the Changzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone Cultural Center—is on display at the Changzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone Cultural Activity Center.

On the morning of August 1, 2024, the public exhibition hall on the first floor of the Economic Development Zone Cultural Activity Center was bustling with people and filled with a lively atmosphere, attracting numerous officials and citizens to visit. Yuan Wei, Chairman of the China Red Calligraphers Association, along with Vice Chairmen Xiong Ziren and Li Hanwen, attended the event and viewed the exhibition alongside the general public.

This exhibition features works from the Hengshan Museum’s collection, bringing together nearly 100 paintings and calligraphy pieces meticulously created by veteran Red Army soldiers and revolutionaries. These works not only showcase exceptional artistic mastery but also convey unwavering ideals and convictions, as well as deep patriotic sentiment. This serves as the finest tribute to the August 1st Army Day and a heartfelt homage to the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. The exhibition will run through September 1; all members of the public are welcome to visit and experience this artistic feast together.
