On December 17, 1935, Wayaobu held the Wayaobu Conference, where the
Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party met to discuss Chinese class relations, as well as the idea of a
united front against Japan. The conference resulted in the
Wayaobu Manifesto, which emphasized the urgency of mobilizing to defend against Japan, albeit one without the
Nationalist government. In 2015, Wayaobu was changed from a
town to a
subdistrict. == Administrative divisions ==
