Exploring the Echoes of History: A Journey Through China Merchants Group's Legacy

Stepping into the China Merchants Group History Museum feels like entering a corridor of time. The exhibition hall is filled with old photographs from the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, their black-and-white images faintly shining with the hope of modern Chinese maritime. Artifacts and documents narrate the story of how this century-old enterprise rose amidst changing tides to become a pillar of national rejuvenation. In the 'Opening and Shipping' section, I felt as if I was witnessing the bustling scene of the 19th-century Shenzhen port, with the sound of steam whistles and ships shuttling back and forth. The words on the wall read: China Merchants Group is not just a symbol of commerce, but a reflection of China's dream of self-strengthening. With resilience and wisdom, it has pioneered a maritime Silk Road for the Chinese people. Finally, I lingered in the museum for a long time, the echoes of history still resonating in my ears, deeply feeling the power and original intention of national resurgence. This is not just a journey through history, but a renewed understanding of faith and mission.
