Yesterday, the Donghu Hotel in Wuhan welcomed a group of remarkable visitors: photographer Qian Qianjie, guardian Zhou Fuming, Tian Yunjun, and life administrator Wu Liandeng, all of whom had worked closely with Chairman Mao Zedong. Among them was Qian Qianjie, who generously donated 170 previously unseen photographs capturing the **Han Campaign**. According to historical records, Mao Zedong stayed at the Donghu Hotel a total of 44 times throughout his life, making it the place where he spent the most time outside of Zhongnanhai. Most of the photos donated by Qian Qianjie were taken during his stays at the hotel, with a few captured along the Yangtze River and the shores of East Lake. In addition to daily life scenes, the collection also includes rare images of two groups of foreign guests who visited Mao during his time in Wuhan. A few months ago, 82-year-old Qian Qianjie had already donated 85 photos to the Donghu Hotel. This time, after carefully sifting through thousands of photographs taken during Mao’s visits to Wuhan, he chose to donate all images related to his activities in the city. Wu Yong, the general manager of the East Lake Hotel, stated that these precious materials will be permanently preserved and some will be displayed in the former residence of Mao Zedong. It has been reported that there had been an attempt by Hong Kong media to purchase photo negatives of Mao Zedong for 180,000 Hong Kong dollars, but the deal ultimately failed. As a personal guardian of Mao Zedong, Tian Yunjun also donated some handwritten notes and envelopes he had used during his time working with the chairman. On this visit back to the East Lake Hotel, where Mao once lived, several elderly guests expressed how much Hubei has changed over the years. They marveled at how beautiful the hotel has become, noting that some areas are almost unrecognizable compared to the past.
