BEIJING -- A theatrical performance will be held to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China (CPC), said a senior CPC official on Tuesday.
The Ministry of Culture and Tourism is preparing for a high-standard, high-quality theatrical performance, which is to be presented in the form of a large-scale epic drama, said Hu Heping, deputy head of the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee and head of the ministry, during a press conference.
