Based on the exhibition previously held on site, the online version takes advantage of internet platforms and multimedia technology to present a full view of the early securities development path under the leadership of the CPC. It vividly showcases the tough journey from 1921 to 1949, during which the CPC used cooperative stocks, base areas’ government bonds and other securities instruments in an innovative manner to raise funds, develop the economy, unite people and support the revolution, so as to establish the political power of the CPC. The exhibition is a practice of SZSE to earnestly study and implement the guiding principles of Xi Jinping’s speeches on the Party history learning and education, put into practice the requirements of the CSRC Party Committee, make good use of revolutionary resources, innovate methods for learning Party history, and create fine projects of Party history learning and education. It is also an important measure to stay true to the Party’s original aspiration, fulfill missions, carry on the CPC’s revolutionary traditions and heritage, strengthen the cultural development of the capital market and advance the reform of the capital market.
