It was an early center of Chinese communist activity. In the late-1920s, the Nationalists forced the Communists out of the Jinggang Mountains and fled to Ruijin and the safety of its relative isolation in the rugged mountains along Jiangxi-Fujian border. In 1931, Mao Zedong founded the Chinese Soviet Republic (CSR) with Ruijin as its capital; it was called Ruijing by the CSR. The Communists withdrew in 1934 on the Long March after being surrounded again by the Nationalists.[citation needed]
During the Cultural Revolution, the Ruijin Massacre in September and October 1968 killed over 300 people in the county.
Ruijin is a popular destination for red tourism and ecotourism. It is a pilgrimage for Maoists from China and around the globe.
