Changsha, Hunan | A must-visit for elders: Liu Shaoqi's Former Residence.

📍Huaminglou Town, Changsha City, Hunan Province ⭐He was a great man I learned about in middle school textbooks, and the one who saddened me the most! 55 years after the passing of this idealist who once illuminated the whole of China, I still miss him dearly! ⭐“A person, especially a Party member, who struggles for the Party, for social progress and human liberation, for the common and long-term interests of millions of working people, until the end of his life, even sacrificing his own life, is most worthy.” – Chairman Liu Shaoqi. ⭐Chairman's Biography: Liu Shaoqi (November 24, 1898 – November 12, 1969), male, Han ethnicity, courtesy name Shaoxuan, pen name Weihuang, native of Ningxiang County, Hunan Province, ancestral home in Jishui, Jiangxi, joined the Communist Party of China in 1921. A great proletarian revolutionary, politician, theorist, and one of the main leaders of the Party and the state, founding father of the People's Republic of China, an important member of the first generation of the Party's central leadership collective with Mao Zedong as the core. First Chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, Second and Third President of the People's Republic of China. From 1956 to 1966, he served as Vice Chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. On November 12, 1969, Liu Shaoqi passed away. 11 years later, in 1980, he was finally rehabilitated. ⭐After reading about the lives and deeds of the founders of our country, and seeing all the objects they used, such as glasses, worn-out Red Army uniforms, etc., when I saw the greatcoat and Zhongshan suit, I felt as if the hero who had dedicated his life to the Party and the people was standing right in front of me, bringing tears to my eyes. Gratitude to our ancestors, respect to the great man! ✅Liu Shaoqi's Former Residence, Huaminglou: 5A scenic spot, free🆓 admission, 09:00-17:00 (16:30 stop entry), shuttle bus available for 20 yuan per person, but I personally recommend walking for a better experience. ✅Parking lot with ample free🆓 spaces ✅All routes lead to a complete tour, clear and comfortable park layout. Exit with a local market, full of local flavor. ✅Stroller and wheelchair available at the ticket office, deposit required. ✅Mao Zedong's Former Residence is very close, you can choose to visit both, guide available. ✅Highly recommended for elders, as they will be deeply moved. Walking alongside them, tears will flow, a lump in your throat. ⭐Respect🫡
