Envisioned as a journey of remembrance and inspiration, this video presents the First Zhuji Congress Memorial, an architectural tribute located in the historic city of Zhuji.

The architecturally impressive structure pays homage to the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC), a key moment in Chinese history.

The design skillfully uses elements such as red stone walls to create a sequence of several engaging scenes. From an abstract representation of the historical Congress site to a monument symbolizing the revolutionary spirit, the design narrates the important milestones of the CPC’s early history. More than just a memorial, this site serves as a public space, integrating with everyday life and becoming a hub for learning about China’s political history, socializing, and relaxation.
