In Qingpu District in western Shanghai, there is such an authentic ancient town. It has a history of thousands of years, but no one cares about it. It is Liantang. It has been low-key hidden in Qingpu for thousands of years, and it is the hometown of Chen Yun, the "shopkeeper of the Republic." Friends, have you ever been to this place?

Legend has it that Liantang was named after the training camp of the Dongwu Navy during the Three Kingdoms period. It is also said that it was named after Zhang Zijun, the governor of Gaozhou, and his wife Zhang Lian, who lived here. Her house was used as a temple. This is also the hometown of Comrade Chen Yun, a proletarian revolutionary. Liantang Ancient Town is low-key and heartbreaking!

Liantang Old Street is not long, only three miles long. A city river commonly known as "Sanlitang" runs through the east and west of the ancient town. "Shangtang" and "Xiatang";"Dongfeng" and "Qianjin" are distributed in Yanshi River in these four streets. On the short Shihe River, there are still more than 10 bridges, including Yixue Bridge, Yufang Bridge, Liufang Bridge, Wanshan Bridge, Chaozhen Bridge, Zhonghong Bridge, Shunde Bridge, and Yuqing Bridge, hidden among the weeping willows. There are various bridges, and small wooden boats glide gently from time to time, like a thick painting of Jiangnan water town.

Chen Yun's former residence is located at No. 95 Xiatang Street. It is an old-fashioned Jiangnan dwelling with a brick and wood structure. It is built along the Shihe River and faces Xitang Port in the south, showing the characteristics of Jiangnan residential buildings.

Chen Yun's former residence is close to Xiatang Street by the river of the city. It is an old-fashioned Jiangnan residential house with a brick and wood structure with a total construction area of 95.88 square meters.

Chen Yun lost his father at the age of two and his mother at the age of four. He was adopted by his parents and changed his name to Liao Chenyun after his father's surname Liao Wenguang. The current former residence of Chen Yun is the home of Uncle Chen Yun's parents.

The street-facing part of the former residence is a storefront, which has been used as a sewing shop and a small hotel. Behind the store is a two-story building, upstairs where Uncle Chen Yun's parents lived, and downstairs is the room where Chen Yun once lived. The furnishings in the former residence today basically maintain their original appearance.

Chen Yun lost his father at the age of two and his mother at the age of four. He relied on his uncle, who was a tailor and a small business. His uncle's family was poor. Chen Yun was forced to drop out of school after finishing senior high school intermittently.

Yan 'an Primary School was formerly known as Yan' an Academy. It was founded in the 15th year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty. In 1931, it was renamed Yan 'an Junior Primary School. In the first year of the Republic of China (1912), it was renamed Yan' an National Higher Primary School. After liberation, it was renamed Liantang Town Primary School. A group of celebrities with lofty ideals in Liantang, such as Wu Kaixian, Wu Zhixi, Gao Ersong, Gao Erbo, Yuan Wenbin, as well as proletarian revolutionary Comrade Chen Yun, all received education at Yan 'an National High School. Comrade Chen Yun graduated from the school in the autumn of 1919, and went to work for the Shanghai Commercial Press. In September 1986, Comrade Chen Yun inscribed the name of his alma mater. Yan 'an Primary School still retains the academy structure when Chen Yun was a student in his early years.

Chen Yun's former residence in Qingpu Rural Areas was surveyed in 1955

Chen Yun's former residence in Qingpu Rural Survey is located at No. 25 Xiatang Street, Liantang Ancient Town. It faces south and north. It is a two-story building with a two-entry, three-bay, brick-and-wood structure. There is a guest hall in the middle of the ground floor, and the special exhibition "Chen Yun and Qingpu Rural Survey" is arranged in the east and west wings.

The second floor where Chen Yun lived in 1955 is not open.

The exhibition "Chen Yun and Qingpu Rural Survey" reproduces the process of Chen Yun's four Qingpu rural surveys with photos, handwriting, etc. There are four parts: the "three determinations" policy to stabilize people's hearts; insisting on improvement and unified purchase and marketing; eliminating the "god of plague" and schistosomiasis; and in-depth and meticulous care for people's livelihood.

While comprehensively presiding over the country's financial and economic work, Comrade Chen Yun returned to his hometown for surveys four times from January 1955 to July 1961 in order to make the central government's policies in line with national conditions and public opinion. On the basis of listening to the voices of the people, understanding public opinion, and grasping the actual situation, he put forward a series of opinions that are in line with the situation, making indelible contributions to the steady and healthy development of the national economy.

Chen Yun's former residence and Qingpu Revolutionary History Memorial Hall maintain the harmony and charm of the scenery of the Jiangnan water town with surrounding houses.

Chen Yun's Former Residence and Qingpu Revolutionary History Memorial Hall is located in Chen Yun's hometown-Liantang Town, Qingpu District, Shanghai. The memorial hall is a biographical exhibition hall approved by the central government to systematically display Chen Yun's life and achievements. It was completed and opened on June 6, 2000. Comrade Jiang Zemin inscribed the name of the museum. Chen Yun Memorial Hall is bordered by the Shihe River in the north and Xitang Port in the south. It consists of three parts: the main hall, Chen Yun's former residence and ancillary facilities. The "Chen Yun's Life and Achievements Exhibition", Chen Yun's Cultural Relics Exhibition Room, and "Eternal Memory" exhibition in the main museum vividly reflect Chen Yun's great and glorious life.

1949-1979 Comrade Chen Yun was in the corner of his residence office at No. 71 (now No. 58) Beichang Street, Xicheng District, Beijing.

The fourth exhibition hall uses Zhongnanhai, where Chen Yun once worked and lived, as a restoration scene. It displays and displays the donated items used by Chen Yun and his wife Yu Ruomu, as decided by the General Office of the CPC Central Committee.

On January 25, 2017, a motorcade carrying cultural relics from Chen Yun's former residence in Zhongnanhai was escorted into Shanghai by police cars.

Before the motorcade started for Qingpu, Shanghai, Chen Yun's daughter Chen Weihua (fifth from the right in the front row) took a group photo with comrades from the Beijing Industrial Group of the Memorial Hall at the Red Wall Gate in Zhongnanhai.
