About Awakening Society Memorial

It reopened on 29 April 2026 after repairs and an exhibition renewal. A recreated east-side room explains the members' use of numbered aliases, while the new basic exhibition follows their activities, including study and work in Europe. The society's newsletter, Jueyou, provides a particularly direct connection to the members' own communications.

What to look for

  • The restored east-side room and display explaining the drawing of numbered aliases.
  • The renewed Juewu Xinhuo exhibition, including the society's Jueyou newsletter.
