More than 90 years ago, the Nanchang Uprising fired the first shot in the armed resistance against the reactionary Kuomintang, declaring the Chinese Communist Party's firm belief in continuing the revolution. It marked the beginning of the Chinese Communist Party's independent leadership in armed struggle and the establishment of the people's army. Remembering history and honoring the heroes, the pursuit that has spanned 90 years continues. Since the establishment of the museum, the Nanchang August 1st Uprising Memorial Museum has vigorously carried out the collection of cultural relics and materials related to the Nanchang Uprising, striving to comprehensively showcase the glorious history of the Nanchang Uprising.
