Live Your Best Lives
In March 1953, the former sites of the Central Revolutionary Military Commission, the General Staff Headquarters, and the First Bureau were restored to their original appearance. In 2006, the General Staff Headquarters organized land acquisition and allocated funds to restore the former sites of other General Staff Bureaus, as well as the General Supply Department, the General Health Department, the General Military Station Transportation Department, and the General Mobilization and Armed Forces Department. Adjustments and improvements to the original sites have enabled the successful restoration of these sites, allowing them to recreate the revolutionary struggle history of the Red Army's leadership.
