Tang died in a shipwreck a year before the country won against the Japanese invaders. He may not be well-known to people today, but the painting is reminiscent of the patriotism of his generation when the country was facing a major crisis.

July 7, 1937 is on show with around 300 paintings and sculptures at Beijing's National Art Museum of China. The exhibition celebrates the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China.

Wu Weishan, the director of NAMOC, says the works on display span a century and reflect the creativity of generations of artists.
