徐汇五座历史建筑加入文化遗产保护名单   2016-12-19

 

XUHUI District added five buildings built in the 1920s-30s to its cultural heritage protection list yesterday, including an entrepreneur’s home that served as a base for a group of celebrities prominent in opposing the Japanese occupation.

The home of Li Zukui at 1 Kangping Road, was the center for a group known as the Jiawu Tonggeng Qianling Association.

The group was formed during the Mid-Autumn Festival in 1943. The name refers to the fact they were all born in the Jiawu Year of the Chinese calendar and were all 50 at the time — adding up to 1,000 years.
