TheLedao Academy in Wei County·WeiHsien Camp in Weifang,Shandong,a western-style comprehensive community integrating education and medical care,was founded in 1881. It has made great contributions to the establishment of modern Chinese higher education,and it is also the birthplace of the Communist Party of China in Weifang. During the Pacific War,Ledao Academy in Wei County was requisitioned by the Japanese invaders as a concentration camp for the detainees of the Allied Powers. The people of Wei County gave them a hand to rescue them,perfectly interpreting the scientific concept of “A community of shared future for mankind” and providing abundant materials for “telling good Chinese stories”. In recent years,Weifang Municipal Government has attached great importance to the red culture and patriotism education value of WeiHsien Camp,and invested human and material resources to protect and develop relevant cultural resources. In 2019,WeiHsien Camp was successfully approved as a major site to be protected at the national level and a national patriotism education demonstration base. At the same time,there are hidden shortcomings and deficiencies behind the rapid development. The next step should focus on the conversion from single management to multi-sector linkage,from one-way promotion to rich publicity and learning design. This will enable it to establish a long-term mechanism to promote the long-term development of its cultural industry and increase the regional soft power of Weifang.
