As the birthplace of the CPC, city witnessed historical revolution and development, Zhang Kun reports.

Seventy-five years ago on May 27, the Chinese Liberation Army, led by the Communist Party of China, took over Shanghai amid cheers and applause from people lining the streets.

The day has been remembered as Shanghai Liberation Day and is celebrated each year. This year, Shanghai Media Group (SMG) Live kicked off a showcase of 40 musical and theater productions for the occasion from May to July.

"Shanghai is the birthplace of the Communist Party of China. The city witnessed the magnificent Chinese revolution, reform and development through the past decades," says Yu Rongjun, deputy director of SMG Live.
