Former site of Peking University central to pivotal moments in revolutionary history
After undergoing renovations, a key site of early Communist revolutionary activities in Beijing opened to the public on Tuesday to mark the centenary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, which falls on July 1.
The Red Building was the main campus of Peking University from 1918 to 1952 and the four-story red brick structure witnessed a series of pivotal moments around 1920 that marked a surge of the Communist movement in the city.
