Tong Bingxue 仝冰雪(@tongbingxue):Visiting the birthplace of the Wuchang Uprising in Wuhan! This very spot—once the barracks of the 8th Engineering Battalion of the Hubei New Army—is where the first shot of the 1911 Revolution was fired on the night of October 10. That single gunshot sparked a nationwide revolution, ultimately toppling over 2,000 years of imperial rule in China. Erected by the Wuhan government in 1987, this monument is topped with a striking rifle sculpture, symbolizing the fierce courage that changed history forever.
