General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee Xi Jinping visited Ye Jianying Memorial Park in Meixian District, in the Chinese mainland's Guangdong Province, last Friday to learn about local efforts to promote revolutionary culture and support old revolutionary base areas. The visit underlines a renewed focus on preserving historical legacy and inspiring new generations.
Located in Huxing Village, the park features the Ye Jianying Memorial Museum and his former residence. Opened in May 2007, it honors the legacy of Ye Jianying, the military leader who commanded the First Military Commission and played a pivotal role in shaping modern China's early military strategy.
For young global citizens, the park offers more than a history lesson—it is a story of leadership under pressure and a glimpse into the grassroots spirit that helped forge a nation. Business and tech enthusiasts will appreciate how the museum blends classic exhibits with interactive displays to make complex events easy to digest. Activists and thought leaders can draw inspiration from how local teams are using revolutionary culture to foster community solidarity and social innovation in Meizhou's rural heartland.
Sports and entertainment fans might not expect to find a connection here, but the site regularly hosts cultural performances—from folk music concerts to historical reenactments that bring history to life. Travelers and digital nomads seeking off-the-beaten-path experiences will find Huxing Village's quiet lanes and preserved architecture a refreshing contrast to buzzing cityscapes, all while supporting sustainable tourism in a region that has grown from its revolutionary roots.
Whether you're mapping a travel itinerary, researching leadership models, or simply curious about the human stories behind big historical events, Ye Jianying Memorial Park in the Chinese mainland's Guangdong Province is a testament to how the past continues to inform and inspire our global future.
