Tour: Chairman Mao's Residence Exhibition Hall
Experience the other side of Zunyi and return to the red road of Zunyi. First stop: Chairman Mao's residence. Chairman Mao's residence is the residence of Mao Zedong and other members of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee during the Zunyi Conference.
In January 1935, when the Central Red Army was in Zunyi, three members of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee, Mao Zedong, Zhang Wentian, and Wang Jiaxiang, lived in Yizhai, Gusi Lane (now Xingfu Lane), Xincheng, Zunyi City. Yi Zhai was built in 1933 and is located at the eastern foot of Taoyuan. The main building faces north and is an old-style bungalow with brick and wood structure on the first floor and one ground floor, with a construction area of about 580 square meters. The abutment built with blue stones is about 1 meter high, and there are five semicircular steps in the middle. Xieshan-style roof, covered with blue tiles, and "dormers". The width of the passage is about 15 meters, and the depth of the passage well is about 9 meters. It is surrounded by corridors above and below. Arched mandarin duck windows are installed in each room of the main building, with ice-cracked lattice eyes and colored patterned glass. The edges of the door and window frames are painted with ocher paint. The exterior of the building is blue-gray.
Mao Zedong, who was elected as a member of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee at the Zunyi Conference, lived in the left front room on the second floor.

Mao Zedong, Zhang Wentian, and Wang Jiaxiang lived here for about 10 days (January 9-19, 1935), and it was one of the places where they stayed for a long time during the Long March.
It is more than 1 kilometer away from the place where the Zunyi Conference was held.
I listened carefully, and reviewed the history again.
The straw sandals of the Red Army during the Long March.
Tour: Zunyi Conference Site
This should be the most famous scenic spot in Zunyi! The site of the famous Zunyi Conference! The old place was called Pipa Bridge. The meeting site was originally the private residence of Bai Huizhang, commander of the Second Division of the 25th Army of the Kuomintang. Built in the early 1930s, the building is a brick and wood structure, a two-story building that combines Chinese and Western styles. In early January 1935, after the Long March of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army arrived in Zunyi, the General Headquarters and the First Bureau of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission of the Chinese Soviet Republic were stationed in this building. From January 15th to 17th, the Zunyi meeting (that is, the enlarged meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee) was held in the small living room of the original owner upstairs in the main building. This meeting established a new central leadership group represented by Mao Zedong.
When you come here to visit, you must first understand this period of history, so it is more important to listen to the explanation. Three points depend on watching, and seven points depend on listening. This is also a 4A scenic spot, the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units.
This is the Zunyi Conference Memorial Hall. When I saw this building, I felt familiar. It turns out that the appearance of Zunyi Railway Station is a replica of it.
The Zunyi Conference Exhibition Hall is a two-story building imitating the characteristics of Zunyi's residential buildings in the 1930s. The exhibition content takes the Long March as the main line, with the chronicle as the theme, "Start the Long March with a strategic shift", "Zunyi Conference, a great turning point", "Go to Guizhou, win by surprise", "Go forward bravely, go to victory", "Zunyi Conference, the glory will last forever" and other five The first part highlights the theme of the Zunyi Conference and the historical sites of the Red Army's long march to Guizhou.
There are a large number of revolutionary cultural relics, historical materials, and historical photos in the exhibition hall at the site of the Zunyi Conference.
Utilize existing materials and technologies, adopt various forms such as oil paintings, sculptures, exhibition boards, images, etc., and use advanced display technologies such as three-dimensional full-length imaging, multimedia half-view paintings, and electronic touch books to carry out exhibitions.
The commentator's explanation is very eloquent and emotional.
View: "Zunyi 1935"
It is near the former site of the Zunyi Conference, and it is also in the section of the pedestrian street. In the evening, you can watch the performance of "Zunyi 1935" at the Honghuagang Theater.
This large-scale interactive stage play officially began its premiere in August 2020.
"Zunyi 1935" tells the story of the failure of the Red Army's fifth anti-encirclement campaign in 1934. Facing internal and external troubles, Zhou Enlai and others accepted Mao Zedong's proposal and persuaded Bogu and Li De to change their original plan and advance to Zunyi! In 1935, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held an enlarged meeting in Zunyi! Zhou Enlai, Mao Zedong and others resolved the disputes, and finally won a turning point for the victory ending, completing a great turning point that is vital to the life and death of the Central Red Army.
Shen Liang, the chief director of "Zunyi 1935", participated in the production of more than 40 Chinese and foreign classic dramas such as "Carmen", "La Traviata", "Tosca", "Bat", and "Fang Zhimin". Assistant director Zhang Fan, executive director Liu Zongfeng, lighting designer Song Shiqiang, multimedia designer Hu Tianji, sound designer Xu Tianyuan, and the main actors are all outstanding talents in the industry.
My understanding of the interactive stage play is not just to watch the performance in front of it. This play has a small stage in the middle of our auditorium, and there are performance stages upstairs on both sides of the auditorium. The actors will be on the big stage in front of us for a while. For a performance, we need to look up at the left and right sides of the upstairs for a while, and then we need to turn back to look at the rear. Of course, the performance in the auditorium at the rear is projected by a projector to the front of the stage. In short, watching this performance also exercised my cervical spine.
"Zunyi 1935" is divided into four acts: "Western Expedition", "Blood Battle on the Xiangjiang River", "Zunyi Meeting", and "Chishui Raiders". The journey of transfer, after the Zunyi meeting, "crossing Chishui four times", finally achieved a decisive victory.
In the play, there are not only vivid portrayals of leaders such as Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, Peng Dehuai, Wang Jiaxiang, Zhang Wentian, etc., but also affectionate praises of ordinary Red Army martyrs, as well as detailed descriptions of ordinary characters who have dreams and watch over their relatives...Every Each character and each group has a unique Long March story and mental journey.
This is the conference performance on the embedded stage in the auditorium, which is projected onto the main stage.
The actor who played Mao Zedong did imitate Grandpa Mao very well.
The overall performance is still very exciting.
When showing the Red Army crossing Chishui four times, the whole stage is also immersed in a blue "ocean". The Red Army hangs the pressure and hovers over the audience, showing the scene of struggling and swimming in the water.
