An exhibition of artwork by teachers and students from the Academy of Fine Arts at Shanxi University in North China's Shanxi province opened at the university on June 25.

The exhibition celebrates the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC).

A total of 100 pieces of artwork, including Chinese paintings, calligraphy, oil paintings, prints and sculptures, vividly showcase the history and contributions of the CPC to China's development. They express teachers' and students' loyalty to the Party and love for the motherland. 

Among them, a sculpture called The Great Beginning will be shown to the public at Wuyi Square in the provincial capital of Taiyuan in October, becoming a red cultural landmark in the city.

In addition, some of the exhibits also reflect the historical heritage of Shanxi University and highlight the province's regional characteristics, showcasing creators' strong love for their hometowns and the alma mater.
