Telling stories that breathe new life into the past

Generations of people who've devoted their lives to China's revolution have recorded and recounted the stories of Jiangxi province's Jinggangshan, where the Communist Party of China established its first rural revolutionary base.

Mao Haofu is among the younger generation taking the baton. The 32-year-old returned to Jinggangshan to pursue his calling after studying finance at the University of Hull in the United Kingdom and working for two years in Jiangxi's capital, Nanchang.

Since 2017, he has given lectures and tours to trainees of the Jiangxi Executive Leadership Academy and international visitors to historical sites, narrating Jinggangshan's history with lucid and engaging storytelling.
