Nanchang Uprising (oil painting)

　　At 2:00 on the early morning of August 1, 1927, more than 20000 troops of the northern expedition army controlled or influenced by the Communist Party of China held an uprising in Nanchang, capital of Jiangxi Province, firing the first gun of armed revolts against Kuomintang reactionaries. The uprising symbolized that the Communist Party of China began to establish a revolutionary army and lead the revolutionary war independently.
