In recent years, red tourism sites(遗址) have brought in more and more visitors.
The Jinggangshan Mountains are known as the birthplace of the Chinese Red Army. Jinggangshan, located in a remote location near Jiangxi's border with Hunan province, was a perfect base for the СРC and the Red Army in the 1920s, but its geographical condition resulted in local people becoming poor in recent times. Mao Haofu, 28, has returned from studying in Britain to his hometown in Jinggangshan City. “I feel a sense of achievement when I see more foreign officers come to our city. They are willing to know more about our country as China offers Chinese wisdom and a Chinese way to solve problems,” he said. Jinggangshan City has been visited by officers from several foreign countries, including Cuba, Vietnam,Cambodia and Laos.
To better introduce the former residence(住所) of Chairman Mao Zedong, Mao Haofu has studied materials in a local museum and books about Mao Zedong, instead of directly translating the tour guide introduction.
At another red tourism site called Xibaipo in Hebei, Duan Keqian, a tour guide of the Xibaipo Memorial Hall, is busy preparing an English version of her speech. She has seen a growing number of foreign visitors who work near Xibaipo. “We’ve been really busy in the past months, but we are really happy to provide more information for our visitors,” said Duan.
Russian Andrey Lyakh, 45, visited Xibaipo after doing business in Shijiazhuang, the capital of Hebei Province. He listened carefully to his guide and nodded at times, walking in the yard of the residence. “I’ve heard of Mao Zedong since I was a child, and I think he is a great man,” said Andrey.
