Remembering History, Forging Ahead: All Grassroots Party Branches of Dagou Chemical

The department organized a Party Day event themed “September 18.”

On September 18, 1931, an explosion in the northern suburbs of Shenyang rent the night sky. Japanese aggressors blew up a section of the South Manchurian Railway near Liutiaohu, then falsely accused the Chinese army of the act.
