President Xi Jinping visited the museum and a memorial hall for the Red Army on April 24, 2016, and laid a wreath at a monument commemorating those who had fallen during the revolution. He also visited five households in Dawan village, the hometown of 65 revolutionary martyrs, in neighboring Huashi township.

Jinzhai, which was governed by Lu'an city, was among the country's poorest counties, and Dawan was on the county's list of the 71 most poverty-stricken villages, with 242 of its 1,032 households registered for poverty alleviation measures in 2014.

Thanks to the measures taken, Dawan was removed from the list in 2018, and the county was taken off the national poverty alleviation list in 2020.

At the five homes he visited, Xi listened to ideas and suggestions from the villagers on poverty alleviation measures.

He also sought their views on migration and resettlement.
