A team at Shanghai Normal University have identified over 1,000 sites related to Chinese Communist Party's establishment and revolutionary activities in Shanghai, the university announced on a conference on Saturday.

“It’s the first time for the city to confirm more than 1,000 ‘red’ cultural relics,” said Su Zhiliang, famous history professor at the university and the leader of the research team. “We now have a relatively complete understanding of former residences of important figures related to the Party and the revolution, sites of activities launched by democratic parties, secret radio stations, publishing houses and book stores, as well as schools with revolutionary history.”

The team has spent more than one year on archives research and onsite investigation to confirm the1,023 relics and historical information related to the Party.
