The Site of the First National
Congress of the Chinese Communist Party is located at No.76, Xingye Road, Luwan
District in Shanghai City. It is a two-storeyed building. The living room downstairs is the
place where the First National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party was held.
After the May Fourth
Movement, many Communist groups emerged nationwide. On July 23, 1921, thirteen
Communist groups that were selected from all the Communist groups nationwide and
represented over 50 Communists in the country held the First National Congress of
the Chinese Communist Party. The Communist International also dispatched two deputies
to the congress. On July 30, disturbed by a detective from the Police Bureau
in the French Concession, the meeting place had to be moved to a yacht on
Jiaxing Lake in Zhejiang Province on the last day. The congress approved the founding
of the Chinese Communist Party, passed the Communist Party's Constitution,
and elected the central organization. From then on, the Chinese revolution
entered a new era.
