At 1:30pm, more than 40 faculty party members took the bus from the School of Arts and Communication and arrived at the Zhongshan Warship Museum at 2:45pm. After entering the museum, the party branches took a group photo. Everyone listened carefully to the instructor's explanation and further understood the deep revolutionary faith and spiritual core behind the historical relics. They were all moved by the firm faith of the revolutionary martyrs. "It is because they inspire later generations that groups of people fight for the cause of communism one after another all their lives!" The visiting teacher said with emotion. In the exhibition hall, there are lined with images and historical explanations of the officers and soldiers of Zhongshan Warship. Among them, the Zhongshan Warship salvaged by Hubei provincial cultural relics department the water and sent to Hubei Shipyard for restoration was very shocking. Everyone took pictures.

The Zhongshan Warship, originally named Yongfeng Warship, was ordered in Japan in 1910, joined the Chinese Navy in 1913, and was renamed Zhongshan Warship in 1925 in honor of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, and was sunk by a Japanese aircraft in 1938 in the waters of Jinkou, Jiangxia District, Wuhan City, during the battle to defend Wuhan. The Zhongshan Warship had been in service for 26 years and had experienced five major historical events, including the Campaign to Defend the Republic, the Campaign to Uphold the Provisional Constitution against the Northern Warlords, the Sun Yat-sen In-danger Incident, the Zhongshan Warship Incident and the Wuhan War of Resistance. It witnessed Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary spirit of persevering and struggling for the independence of the country and the liberation of the nation, and demonstrated the heroic spirit of the revolutionary pioneers who sacrificed their lives for the country.

In 1997, the Zhongshan Warship was salvaged as a whole. Today, it stands silently in the most prominent position in the museum. When we approached it, looked at it and admired it, we deeply felt the ups and downs of the Chinese nation for a hundred years, and the tenacious will of generations of revolutionary martyrs who kept fighting for the survival and revitalization of the nation.

Afterwards, thry freely visited the museum relics and took a group photo in front of a painting of "Zhongshan Warship Renaming Ceremony". Through this visit, they traced the stormy revolutionary course of the Zhongshan Warship and deeply felt the history of ups and downs of the Chinese nation in the past hundred years. All the faculty and staff party members present were infected by the glorious and extraordinary history of Zhongshan Warship, inspiring strong patriotic enthusiasm and passion for office. They all expressed that they must not forget history, stood on their posts, take responsibilities consciously, forge ahead, and continue to contribute to the development of the school and university.
