To carry forward the great spirit of the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and foster patriotism, on October 25, the Party Committee of the School of Economics and Management organized faculty Party members and teachers to visit the Yangtai Mountain Patriotism Education Base in Beijing for a themed Party Day activity titled “Carrying Forward the Red Legacy and Tracing the Pingxi Underground Communication Line.” Through on-site visits, guided explanations, and immersive experiences, participants gained a deeper understanding of the glorious history of the Pingxi underground communication line and revisited the heroic deeds of revolutionary predecessors.
During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Yangtai Mountain served as a vital transportation route linking Beiping with the intelligence liaison stations in western Beijing. This winding ancient mountain path became a “red communication line” that carried both intelligence and hope. For nearly a decade, from 1939 to 1949, it played an important role in transmitting intelligence and documents, transporting military supplies, and escorting personnel.
Led by the site guide, the group visited the exhibition hall of “Red Legacy: Themed Exhibition on the Pingxi Underground Communication Line.” As Haidian District’s first publicly exhibited regional red-history exhibition focusing on the hidden front, the exhibition vividly recreated the courageous struggles of the Pingxi underground network under the leadership of the Communist Party of China. It also featured a special section on the important contributions made by international friends who fought alongside the Chinese people for the victory of the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti-Fascist War.
After leaving the exhibition hall, participants retraced the footsteps of revolutionary predecessors along the historic red communication route, experiencing firsthand the significance of this passage during wartime. Many Party members remarked that this themed Party Day activity was a profound and vivid lesson in Party spirit education. They expressed their determination to integrate the red legacy into their own values, inherit and carry forward the great spirit of resistance and patriotism, and contribute to the high-quality development of the School with firmer political conviction, greater enthusiasm, and a more pragmatic work style.
