The opening ceremony of an exhibition hall on the history of the Jiu San Society was held in Beijing on Sept 3. 

Wu Weihua, vice-chairman of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress and chairman of the Central Committee of the Jiu San Society, delivered a speech at the ceremony. Shao Hong, vice-chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) National Committee and executive vice-chairman of the Central Committee of the Jiu San Society, presided over the event. 

Noting that this year marks the centenary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and that the ceremony was held on the society's 76th anniversary, Wu said it is important for the society's members to learn the history of both the CPC and the society and review the solidarity and cooperation between both sides. 

With abundant historical materials displayed in the hall, Wu said he expects the society's members to strengthen their belief in the CPC's leadership, enhance their confidence in the system of socialism with Chinese characteristics, carry forward the society's fine tradition, and fulfill their duty as members of a political party participating in State affairs.
