Over 10 journalists of Shenzhen Special Zone Daily headed to 16 Chinese provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions in three groups, to report on the formation, rich connotation, inheritance and development, realistic significance and contemporary practices of the spirit of the Communist Party of China such as Red Boat Spirit, Jinggang Mountain Spirit, Soviet Area Spirit, Zhaojin Spirit, Spirit of Zunyi Meeting, Long March Spirit, Nanniwan Spirit, Yan’an Spirit, Yimeng Spirit, Xibaipo Spirit, Iron Man Spirit, Lei Feng Spirit, Jiao Yulu Spirit, Gan Zuchang Spirit, Spirit of Reform and Opening-up, Astronauts Spirit and Spirit of Earthquake Relief. The exhibition put on display a selection of over 100 outstanding photographic works taken in the interview campaign, in the hope of seeking the development context of the spirit of the Communist Party of China and feeling its tremendous power from these photos with more people.
