Liao Zhongkai and He Xiangning are the pioneers and patriots of the great democratic revolution, and the historical relics and spiritual wealth related to Liao Zhongkai and He Xiangning are precious cultural treasures and red resources in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. He Xiangning, whose ancestral home is Foshan, is a well-known political activist who has made outstanding contributions to the founding of New China, the unity of overseas Chinese, and the consolidation and development of the patriotic united front, and is a close comrade-in-arms of the Communist Party of China. This year coincides with the 75th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China and the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the 100th anniversary of He Xiangning's initiation of China's "March 8" Women's Day activities, the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Huangpu Military Academy and the 100th anniversary of the founding of Sun Yat-sen University.

At present, in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the historical and cultural resources related to Liao Zhongkai and He Xiangning are scattered in Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Foshan, Huizhou, Shanwei and Hong Kong. There are Liao Zhongkai and He Xiangning Memorial Hall and "Shuangqing Building" in Guangzhou, He Xiangning Art Museum in Shenzhen, and Mr. Liao Zhongkai's Monument, Zhongkai Middle School, Comrade Liao Chengzhi's Life Exhibition Room, Liao Chengzhi Red Army Primary School, Shanwei He Xiangning Former Residence Memorial Hall, Foshan He Family's Ancestral House Site (Hejia Lane) and the former site of the Nanhai Four Districts Peasant Association established under the guidance of Liao Zhongkai. Looking at these commemorative venues and cultural relics, although there is interaction between the nodes from time to time, they fail to connect the dots into a line, and there are problems such as the small scale of the existing cultural carriers, the lack of protection and construction, the lack of market-oriented operation, the weak brand operation, and the lack of international influence.
To solve these problems, it is urgent to coordinate and integrate the relevant historical and cultural resources of Liao Zhongkai and He Xiangning, and protect them as a unified cultural IP for rescue protection, so as to promote collaborative development and linkage development. Guangzhou and Foshan are separated by water and have the same cultural roots, so they can take advantage of the convenience of the construction of the whole region and the opportunity of the "Chancheng-Nanhai-Liwan" joint creation of a national cultural industry and tourism industry integration development demonstration zone, and carry out collaborative development and linkage development of the memorial venues and old sites related to Liao He, and work together to build the Xiangning Cultural Industry Park. Here are a few suggestions:
The first is to consolidate the literature and history research related to He Xiangning to provide support for the activation and utilization of resources. After long-term research by scholars such as Shang Mingxuan, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Cai Ruiyan, the former director of the Liao He Memorial Hall, and Zhang Ying, an expert in local history of the South China Sea, as well as the old neighbor Mai Dekai and He Linsui, a descendant of the He family, who have lived in Tapo for five generations, confirmed that He Xiangning's parents and grandparents had done business and lived in the ancient town of Foshan. It is suggested that provincial and municipal party history research offices, social science federations, colleges and universities and other theoretical research units should be organized to strengthen cultural and historical research on the revolutionary imprints of Liao He and his wife in Foshan, clearly restore the life and business trajectory of He Xiangning's direct ancestors of the past three generations, and promote the identification of relevant revolutionary sites, former residences and other historical relics.
The second is to strengthen administrative management and business thinking, and improve the comprehensive benefits of the industrial park in multiple fields. Taking advantage of the advantages of Tapo Community, such as the former site of the Nanhai Fourth District Farmers' Association established under the guidance of Liao Zhongkai and Wu Qin, the ancestral residence of the He family, and the strong cultural heritage, Tapo will unite the ancient town of Foshan within 5 kilometers around it, plan more than 100 acres of places, connect it into a piece, and plan and design it from a high starting point, highlight the historical and cultural connotation of the old city, and polish the cultural business card of "Foshan's original hometown of Xiangning". Cooperate with the micro-renovation project of Guangzhou Liwan old community to create a cultural landmark in the same city of Guangzhou-Foshan. The cultural industry park project will be applied for the construction of major projects of the provincial cultural tourism or development and reform departments, and strive for investment from state-owned enterprises and social capital. Highlight the unique creative value of Xiangning Cultural Industrial Park, and position it as the first international cultural industrial park in China and even the world with the theme of intellectual women, patriotic education, and first-class functions. Through the combination of research and study tours, immersive experiences, cultural relics theme trails and other forms to attract young people, leading the world's women's life new fashion and consumption boom.
The third is to excavate the brand value of He Xiangning's culture and carry out multi-form and all-round publicity and promotion. Including building a provincial-level science popularization and demonstration base, gathering experts and scholars, launching a series of He Xiangning cultural research results, establishing a book editorial department, and compiling and creating Liao He-related literary and art books, radio, film and television works. He Xiangning Cultural International Expo Center was set up to display and exhibit He Xiangning's literary and artistic works, cultural creations, paintings, and cultural relics collections, and create a series of high-end gifts, humanistic souvenirs and fashionable daily necessities from his artworks. Integrate Lingnan culture and intangible cultural heritage culture to create a series of Xiangning painting cultural IP products. He Xiangning Culture and Art Center was established, creating Cantonese opera, stage plays, ** dramas, film and television works on the theme of He Xiangning, and regularly holding He Xiangning Culture and Art Festival.
Fourth, strengthen international exchanges and cooperation, and enhance the international influence of He Xiangning culture. Promote cooperation with international organizations such as UN Women, and strengthen the international promotion of He Xiangning's cultural brand. The commemorative activities of "He Xiangning initiated the 100th anniversary of China's 'March 8' Women's Day" were held in Guangzhou, and the overall coordination of activities linked with the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Whampoa Military Academy and Sun Yat-sen University was strengthened. Through the production of promotional videos based on Chinese elements, intangible cultural heritage, national brands, and outstanding representatives of Chinese women, the outstanding contributions of He Xiangning are highlighted, and the centennial development process of Chinese women is vividly displayed at home and abroad. At the same time, we will build a first-class community in the historical and cultural districts of Guangzhou and Foshan, build a brand of CPPCC participation in politics, attract young people from Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao, women from all over the world, and overseas Chinese to check in to the Cultural Industry Park, and continue to enhance the international influence of He Xiangning culture.
