XIBAIPO in Hebei Province was a small village of some 100 people, but became a focus of national attention in the 194os. Local farmers were staunch Communist supporters. The rolling Taihang Mountains to the west and broad Hutuo River on its south side provided a natural defense for this hard-working community that always nurtured abundant harvests. As the revolutionary strongholds in Hebei and neighboring provinces converged with the growing league of Communist territories, Xibaipo was selected to be the new command center of the Communist Party of China in 1948.
