Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), and other members of the Standing Committee of the CPC Central Committee Political Bureau on Tuesday morning visited the site of the first CPC national congress in Shanghai. 

Led by Xi, all members of the Standing Committee of the CPC Central Committee Political Bureau took an admission oath again in front of the Party flag.

Locals in Shanghai turned out to bid farewell to Xi after he and other leaders visited the site of the first CPC National Congress.

A week ago, the CPC finished the high-profile 19th National Congress in Beijing and the next day, the first plenary session of the CPC Central Committee elected seven members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau: Xi Jinping, Li Keqiang, Wang Huning, Li Zhanshu, Wang Yang, Zhao Leji and Han Zheng. 

On July 23-30, 1921, the CPC convened its first national congress in the two-story building at 76 Xingye Road, Shanghai. Present at the meeting were thirteen delegates (two absent due to work outside Shanghai), who represented a nationwide total of more than 50 CPC members at the time, and two representatives, a Russian and a Dutch, from the Communist International. The national congress closed on July 31, 1921 in Jiaxing, eastern Zhejiang Province.
