The origin of history

The all China Federation of trade unions (ACFTU) is referred to as the "all China Federation of trade unions". Founded on May 1, 1925. At that time, the second national labor conference was held in Guangzhou. More than 30 resolutions on political struggle, economic struggle, and the union of workers and peasants were adopted. The newly established all China Federation of trade unions is headed by Lin Weimin and Liu Shaoqi. "Quanzong" was the center of the national workers' movement led by the CPC during the first Civil Revolutionary War. It played an important role in the development of trade union organizations, leading the workers' movement, unifying the revolutionary base in Guangdong and the northern expedition.

The emblem of the Chinese Trade Union (right) is composed of the Chinese characters "Zhong" and "Gong", which are overlapped in a circle by artistic modeling. A circle line is added to the two characters to symbolize the unity of the Chinese trade union and the Chinese working class. The standards for making the emblem shall be prescribed by the all China Federation of trade unions.

Entering from the gate is the front yard, in the middle of which is a two-story Western-style house with a basement. On both sides are the memorial to Mr. Liao Zhongkai and the memorial to the martyrs of the industrial and agricultural movement.

After the founding of the general assembly of the Communist Party of China, it became the center of leading the national workers' movement during the great revolution.

In January 1927, the general office of CPC moved to Hankou, which was changed into the general office in Guangzhou and closed in April. The former site is a three story building. The first floor is the auditorium and office of Guangzhou workers' Congress, and the second and third floors are the auditorium and office of the general assembly.

In 1958, the site was restored and turned into a memorial hall. In May 1926, the third National Labor Conference and the second Guangdong farmers' Congress were jointly held in Guangzhou. The meeting decided to build "monument to the martyrs of the industrial and Agricultural Movement" and "monument to the place where Mr. Liao Zhongkai died" on the left and right sides of the front yard of the house.

In memory of Mr. Liao Zhongkai, who was assassinated here on the morning of August 25, 1925 for attending the executive committee meeting of the Central Committee of the Kuomintang, and the martyrs who died in the workers' and peasants' movement.

Funding for repairs

Since the founding of the people's Republic of China, the people's government has repeatedly allocated funds to renovate the old site and turned it into a memorial hall. It was opened to the masses in October 1959. In July 1962, it was announced as a cultural relic protection unit in Guangdong Province. During the "Cultural Revolution", the memorial hall was forced to close and its former site was destroyed. In 1984, the government again allocated funds for the comprehensive renovation of the old site, and on May 1, 1985, the 60th anniversary of the founding of the National People's Congress, the site was reopened to receive visitors.
