four months ago on June 29th. The host invited more than 80 generals, relatives of
the founders of P.R.C and several prestigious calligraphers and painters in China to
participate in the activity. More than 130 pieces of art was collected.
Director Xu Jialu delivered a speech first. He suggested that though most of the
founders have left us and their relatives and fellow colleagues have grown old, we
should remember the great contribution of Mao Zedong, Liu Shaoqi, Zhu De, Zhou
Enlai and other great Proletarian revolutionaries who helped the liberation of the
Chinese people. In this special year when the PRC celebrates her 60th birthday,
holding such an exhibition would be an effective way for the young generation to

spirit as well as inspire them to work hard for the prosperity of the country.
