Memorial of the Fourth National Congress of the CPC 中共四大纪念馆

About Memorial of the Fourth National Congress of the CPC

The Fourth National Congress memorial in Hongkou explains the Communist Party meeting held in Shanghai in January 1925.

The exhibition focuses on the congress's debates about leadership, the worker-peasant alliance and party organization. The display was renewed in 2021. A visit is most useful when these themes are connected with the wider political circumstances of the 1920s, rather than treating it as another stop with the same story as the First Congress memorial.

The Fourth Congress is best approached through its themes of political organization and alliances. Read the dates and captions before moving to individual objects, then compare the display with the First and Second Congress accounts if visiting those venues too. This chronological approach gives the Hongkou stop its own purpose within a wider Shanghai history itinerary.

What to look for

• The account of the January 1925 meeting.
• Displays on organization and the worker-peasant alliance.
• The relationship to Shanghai's other early-party memorials.
