It is the executor of the daily work of the central organs, the aggregator of confidential work within the party, and the hub of communication between superiors and subordinates. The Memorial Hall of the Former Site of the Secretariat of the Communist Party of China presents a panoramic view of the struggle of the Secretariat of the Communist Party of China in Shanghai. On June 27th, the Memorial Hall of the Former Site of the Secretariat of the Communist Party of China will hold its opening ceremony and officially open to the public on July 1st.

Zhou Enlai, Deng Xiaoping and other people often attend secret meetings here.

The Secretariat of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was once the most direct and widely connected comprehensive agency serving the Party Central Committee, the most crucial in ensuring the work of the Party Central Committee, and the most core in institutional operation. It was the executive organ of the Central Standing Committee's work and can be said to be the predecessor of the General Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. It played a very important role during the period when the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was stationed in Shanghai.

In July 1926, the Secretariat of the Communist Party of China Central Committee was established in Shanghai. In November 1927, the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China rented No. 1141 Wenyu Village, Gordon Road, for the central leadership to read and handle telegrams and convene meetings of the Central Political Bureau. From 1927 to 1931, the Secretariat of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was responsible for the reception, storage, and some confidential work of important documents and materials of the Party Central Committee. Zhou Enlai, Deng Xiaoping, and others often come here to review documents and attend secret meetings of the Central Political Bureau. During this period, a group of unsung heroes who were absolutely loyal to the cause of the Party and made silent contributions emerged. They were loyal to their mission and unswervingly committed to their mission. They wrote the epic hymns of heroes, left moving stories, became the spiritual wealth of the CPC from generation to generation, and vividly explained the great spirit of party building.

Carefully repair and restore the original historical appearance of the building

In 2013, Jing'an District officially launched the protection work of the former site of the Secretariat of the Communist Party of China Central Committee. In 2017, the former site of the Secretariat of the Communist Party of China Central Committee was announced as a district level cultural relic protection unit. In the same year, the protection of the former site of the Secretariat of the Communist Party of China was included as a key task in the excavation and publicity project of the "birthplace of the Communist Party of China" in Shanghai, as well as the restoration and protection of important revolutionary sites such as the "One Hall and Five Sites". It will be built as a memorial venue and opened to the public.

The Former Site Memorial Hall is a two-story stone gate building facing north and south, with a brick and wood structure. It has a red and green plain brick exterior wall, a red brick decorated lintel, and a Baroque style Guanyin Dou style mountain wall. The decoration on the east facade along the street is extremely exquisite, with Western architectural elements in the details of the exterior walls, and finely carved wooden railings with Chinese charm on the overhanging balcony. "The restoration is based on historical research and follows the principle of 'repairing as old as possible with minimal intervention' to restore the original historical appearance of the building to the greatest extent possible." The relevant person in charge of Jing'an District introduced that the floor of the old site is a mosaic pattern, detailed and complex, but severely damaged. The repair team visited the country for sampling and invited cultural heritage and architectural experts for multiple consultations, ultimately confirming that the mosaic found in Guangdong matched the original mosaic the best.
