A fine art and calligraphy works exhibition, themed around the history of the Communist Party of China (CPC), was launched at Zhejiang Exhibition Hall in Hangzhou, capital of Zhejiang province, on June 29. It is being held in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the CPC, which falls on July 1.

The exhibition will last until July 29. It is co-hosted by the Publicity Department of the CPC Zhejiang Provincial Committee, the Zhejiang Provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles, as well as the China Academy of Art.

Set Sail, an oil painting displayed at the exhibition, depicts the red boat on Nanhu Lake in Jiaxing, Zhejiang province. In 1921, 13 delegates announced the official founding of the CPC at the first CPC National Congress held aboard the vessel. [Photo/zj.zjol.com.cn]
