Hart. The four principal founders of the China's Nurses Association and its first president, Caroline Maddock Hart; met in Kuling to form this association. During the Long March, in early 1935, a battle took place in this area between communist red army and nationalist forces, in which Hu Yaobang, later General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, was seriously injured. Mountain Lu was once dubbed the hsiatu (xiadu, "summer capital") of the Republic of China. Chiang Kai-shek, China's leader at the time, would frequently spend his summers here. In June 1937, Zhou Enlai, then a major leader in the Communist Party, met with Chiang on the mountain to discuss a united front against the Japanese invasion. In July 1937, Chiang Kai-shek announced his intention for a full mobilization for war against Japan from mountain Lu. In 1946, following the war, the U.S. special diplomatic mission led by General George C. Marshall met with Chiang Kai-Shek to discuss the role of post-World War II China. Mao Zedong convened three large conferences of senior party officials at Mountain Lu, in 1959, 1961, and 1970. The 1959 conference became known as the Mountain Lu Conference. The meeting saw the purge of decorated Chinese Civil War and Korean War general Peng Dehuai, who was critical of Mao's Great Leap Forward policies. The 1970 mountain Lu Conference took place during the Cultural Revolution, and marked the increasing antagonism between those loyal to Mao and those loyal to his chosen successor Lin Biao. In 1980, the famous movie Romance on Lushan Mountain which was entirely shot in Lushan, was released to the public, and won considerable positive reception. It was considered as the most progressive film since the founding of communist China, because there was a kissing scene in the movie, which was seen as public taboo in the pre-reform-and-opening-up China. It still holds the Guinness World Record for "the longest first run of a film in one cinema" for having been shown continuously since 1980 until today.
