Xibaipo

Ch'in-huang-tao Shih-chia-chuang is the location of the Hopeh provincial revolutionary committee. Its textile, iron and steel, machine, and chemical industries are developed. Hsi-pai-p'o in P'ing-shan County, about 70 kilometers or more to the northwest of the city, was the site of the historic Second Plenary Session of the Seventh Central Committee of the Party, which was personally presided over and convened by Chairman Mao.

On the eighteenth of April, Chou En-lai, who had been away on another mission, arrived at Hsi-pai-p’o, a small community a few miles northwest of the city of Shih-chia-chuang in Hopeh province. The Chairman did not join him there until the twenty-seventh of May, whereupon they settled into Hsi-pai-p’o for what turned out to be ten months. Then the Chairman moved on to their final destination, the ancient capital of Peking, less than two hundred miles to the northeast. At Hsi-pai-p’o the Chairman continued to write prolifically (on land reform, Party discipline, military strategy, and the KMT).

In a square in front of a Communist Party memorial hall at Xibaipo in northern China, row upon row of party members stood, raised their fists and chanted the party oath in unison.[...] Xibaipo was an important Communist Party base during China's civil war, which ended in 1949 with the victorious communists sweeping to power.[...] Party researchers and officials told Reuters the large numbers of visitors at Xibaipo reflects a national push to get people, especially party members and cadres, to get involved with the upcoming anniversary. Schools are also taking part. At Xibaipo, in Hebei province, a large group of students was lined up, given small national flags and told to recite their Communist Youth League oaths, just as the senior party members were doing.
