On this day 34 years ago, on May 4, 1991 (March 20, 1991 lunar calendar), the centenarian painter Zhu Qizhan joined the party. On May 4, 1991, the 100-year-old artist Zhu Qizhan, approved by the Shanghai Municipal Cultural Bureau Committee of the Communist Party of China, was admitted to the party and became the oldest new party member in the country. This highly respected century old man has rich experience. He experienced three generations of the late Qing Dynasty, the Republic of China, and New China. From his long life course, he made the same choice as millions of Communist Party members. He submitted an application for party membership to the party in 1985. On the application, he wrote: "After a long period of education and training by the party, I have gradually realized that communism is great and correct, and that only relying on the Communist Party is the only correct path. I wholeheartedly request to join the Communist Party of China, which is my lifelong wish. It is a great honor to ask the organization to consider approval. I want to create more and newer works in my lifetime, and contribute my modest strength to the party and the people." Now his wish has finally come true.
