Shen Zhiyu, the former director of Shanghai Museum, recalled that 1950, he was the director of the Social and Cultural Affairs Management Office of Shanghai Cultural Bureau. One day, Yao Qin, deputy director of the Propaganda Department of Shanghai Municipal Committee, told him that in order to welcome the 30th anniversary of the founding of the Party in the middle of next year, the Municipal Committee decided to look for the site of the "First National Congress" in that year, which belonged to the category of "social and cultural undertakings management", so he was asked to look for it.
The vast Shanghai, how to find * * * "a big" meeting place? The only clue in Yao Qin's hand was provided by john young, director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Yang has a deputy section chief named Zhou Zhiyou (party member, formerly known as Zhou Youhai), who is the son of Zhou Fohai! Father and son parted ways and took a completely different path. Zhou Zhiyou provided important information: First, his mother Yang Shuhui is now in Shanghai. * * * During the "First National Congress", Zhou Fohai was madly in love with Yang, and once took her to the meeting house and asked her to post a letter there; Secondly, Zhou Fohai wrote a book "Collection of Past Events", telling about his participation in a major event.
In the Shanghai Library, Shen Zhiyu found "Memories of the Past", and there is a crucial sentence in the book, that is, the meeting was held in "Belle Road Li Family". "Baylor Road" has been renamed as Huangpi South Road since 1943. In this way, the general scope of the search is determined.
Every other day, he was ordered to come to Shen Zhiyu and said that he would try his best to help find Li's home. After all, times have changed, and the "Li Mansion" of that year has been unrecognizable. The first day, nothing. Later, Yang Shuhui himself quietly came to "Baylor Road" to recall and search carefully. She finally found that the house with the word "sauce" painted on the white wall and the signboard "Changhengfu Mianfang" looked familiar ... After confirmation, it was indeed Li's residence. Later, the lime and the signboard of "sauce" were shoveled off the wall, and the original appearance of Li Mansion, the former site of "One Big" in China, was restored.
