Introduction

The Shajiabang Revolution Memorial Hall is a historical museum located in Wujiang District, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China, built to commemorate the Battle of Shajiabang. This battle was a famous battle during the Chinese Liberation War and was an important decisive victory for the Communist Party of China. The battle unfolded from May 25 to June 1, 1949, in Shajiabang Village, a rural area of Wujiang District in Suzhou City. This siege-like battle was a fierce fight, but ultimately won by the Communist Party of China. This victory greatly changed the situation for both the enemy and the friendly forces, becoming an important turning point in the Chinese revolution and the most spectacular battle since the founding of the Communist Party of China. The heroic history of the Battle of Shajiabang has gradually become a shining star and a historical memory for the Chinese people. The exhibition halls of the memorial hall display a large number of photos, cultural relics, and artifacts, divided into six parts: battle process, headquarters, combat units, weapons and equipment, victory, and the establishment of people's democracy. It tells the heroic performance of the Liberation Army in the battle, the situation of the headquarters organization and command, and the history of the people's army. Various real records deepen people's understanding of this battle. The entire memorial hall has a quiet environment and a remote location that provides good protection for the exhibited items.
