Soong Ching Ling exhibition pays tribute to her international friends
A visitor looks at some of the photos at the exhibition
Many foreigners traveled thousands of miles to fight with Chinese people against the Japanese invasion and for the establishment of the New China in the first half of the 20th century. Many of them knew Soong Ching Ling, the Honorary President of the People's Republic of China.
The Mausoleum of Soong Ching Ling is hosting an exhibition, "Shared Faith and Boundless Love – Soong Ching Ling and International Friends of China," to commemorate her 130th birthday. The exhibit focuses on her friendships with international friends.
International friends of Soong Ching Ling who were deeply influenced by her
The exhibition features 70 international figures, including Edgar Snow, Shafick George Hatem, Henry Norman Bethune, Rewi Alley, and Agnes Smedley, who were all profoundly influenced by Soong.
Visitors can see how they gradually understood and accepted the Communist Party of China's faith, which was driven by a deep-seated passion for the general public's well-being, and took China as their second home, making significant contributions to shared human progress.
The permanent exhibition is free and open to the public on the first floor of the "Hong 1286" building of the mausoleum.
