Do you have a clearer picture? This one is too blurry to see clearly.

Hi could anyone please help identify these medals of my great grandfather?

The last one is unrecognizable; it might be the National Model Worker Medal, or it might not be.

If these were your great-grandfather's wartime medals, then your great-grandfather was a veteran who enlisted between 1937 and 1945,.He participated in the Huaihai Campaign, the Crossing-the-Yangtze Campaign, and the subsequent advance into South China and Southwest China. Based on these medals, it is highly likely that your great-grandfather was a soldier of the Second Field Army. The Second Field Army was led and commanded by Liu Bocheng and Deng Xiaoping.

Wow thanks for all the info all I knew before this was that he fought on horseback, starting in Shandong and ending up in Guangzhou.

Will there be a big PLA parade featuring new kit for the 80th anniversary of VJ day?

Because early Party records are incomplete, and many participants faced significant changes such as sacrifice, leaving the Party, or defection, by October 1, 1949, only two delegates from the First CPC National Congress were still in the Party: Mao Zedong and Dong Biwu. Mao Zedong became the Chairman of the CPC Central Committee, and Dong Biwu later became Chairman of the People's Republic of China.

To this day, the exact start and end times of the First CPC National Congress are not fully known due to the lack of direct witnesses or evidence. What we know is that the meeting started on the evening of July 23, 1921, around 7:00 PM or 8:00 PM, was interrupted by French Concession police on July 30, and then moved to a boat on Nanhu Lake in Jiaxing in early August, where it finished. Recent studies suggest the Nanhu Lake boat meeting likely took place on August 3 and ended on August 4.

Is it from some AI? It's important to know because I will use it in an article.

No, it comes from this

. The official records never confirmed the exact time the meeting started in the evening, as there is no solid evidence. So, for accuracy, it's best to follow the official CPC record: the meeting began on the evening of July 23, 1921.

It mentions the time is 8 pm. Isn't it accurate then?

I searched online for a long time and only found one article from over a decade ago that specified the exact time. Other sources, including the most authoritative Party history materials, do not mention the specific time. In any case, if you want to be rigorous, you should not specify the exact hour. If for better coherence in the context, you can write that the meeting started at 8 PM. After all, this matter is an open 'unsolved mystery' within the CPC.

Thanks for the help mate.
