Former Site of the First National Congress of the Kuomintang

Perché vale la deviazione

Sun Yat-sen convened the Kuomintang's transformative 1924 congress inside this clock-towered school building, formalizing cooperation with Chinese Communists and the policies of alliance with Soviet Russia and support for workers and peasants. Three years later Lu Xun lived in the same building and wrote about its old clock tower, giving the revolutionary venue an unexpected literary afterlife.
