Saturday, September 12th, 2009China Travel – Old Residence of Zhu De
Saturday, September 12th, 2009The old residence of Zhu De is situated in Dawan in Ma’anchang, Yiling County, Sichuan Province.
Zhu De (1886-1976), a great Marxist, proletarian revolutionist and military scientist, served as vice president of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, commander-in-chief of the People’s Liberation Army, vice president of the People’s Republic of China, director of the Standing Committee of the National Congress and held many other important posts in the Party and the government.
On December 1, 1886, Zhu was born in a family of tenant farmers in Lijiawan, Yilong County. In 1895, following his grandfather, he moved to the residence and lived there for 13 years.
Built during the reign of Jiaqing of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), the residence is a typical house of the rural areas of Sichuan. The 295-square-meter dwelling consists of nine rooms on three sides that face south. There are surrounding fields where Zhu worked when he lived at the residence, the Jialin mulberry tree and the old-style tutorial school where he studied, including other memorial places to visit. In 1982, the Memorial Hall for Zhu De’s Old Residence was set up to display a large number of cultural relics, photographs and related materials that expound his life story from his youth, the Revolution of 1911, the Yunnan Uprising, the Northern Expedition, the Nanchang Uprising, the Land Revolution, the Anti-Japanese War and the War of Liberation.
