An exhibition on the Whampoa Military Academy will open at the Dr Sun Yat-sen Museum tomorrow, to mark the 90th anniversary of the founding of the China's first modern military school.

 

Running until January 14, the exhibition is jointly presented by the Leisure & Cultural Services Department and the Guangdong Museum of Revolutionary History.

 

It showcases more than 60 items, including invaluable historical documents, relics, historic images and academic documents and articles used by the academy's instructors and cadets.

 

The Whampoa Military Academy founded in 1924 was one of the major decisions made by Dr Sun Yat-sen to re-explore China's revolutionary road.



Hailed as a "Cradle for China's Army Commanders", the academy set out to nurture military and political leaders of modern China.
