What travelers say:

A little regretful trip to the Laoshe Memorial Hall "Laoshe, originally named Shu Qingchun, the word Sheyu, the representative work "Four Kings Tongtang", "Longxugou", "Camel Xiangzi", "I am this life"..." This paragraph everyone will remember from the primary school, right? Today, I specially visited the Laoshe Memorial Hall, which is also the former residence of Laoshe since 1950, to explore more about Mr. Laoshe's life story. Laoshe's former residence has three places in the country, namely in Beijing, Jinan and Chongqing. The former residence of Laoshe in Beijing is also the Laoshe Memorial Hall. In the north of Dengshikou West Street Road, at the south exit of Fengsheng Hutong, it is a two-inch courtyard. It is very close to the Donghua Gate of the Forbidden City, which can be regarded as "the root of the imperial city". This is an ordinary courtyard house purchased by Mr. Lao She in 1950, covering an area of about 400 square meters and a total of 19 houses. The first thing that came into the courtyard was a colorful wooden shadow wall with the word "fu". Compared with the traditional shadow wall, it was very novel. There was a portrait of Mr. Laoshe in the courtyard, a fish tank, a lot of flowers, and two old She and his wife planted persimmon trees. Therefore, this small courtyard has the nickname "Danshi Small Courtyard". There are three main rooms (North House) in the courtyard, the Ming Room and the West Room are the living room, the East Room is the bedroom and painting room of Lady Hu Leqing, the West Ear Room is the study and bedroom of Lao She, "Longxugou", "Tea House", Works such as "Zhenghong" are written here. Now the North House is the original appearance exhibition hall of life in the former residence. Here you can see the original appearance of the life and work environment of the Lao She couple, but it is currently under renovation and is expected to reopen next week. This exhibition hall is also the most important part of the memorial hall. It is a pity that I did not see it. The Westinghouse is the house of Lao She's daughter. It is now the Lao She's Life and History Exhibition Hall, which introduces the tracks, main events and works created at all stages of Lao She's life. The East House kitchen and dining room, now the physical exhibition hall, displays some of the relics harvested by the memorial, including the coats Mr. Lao She wore while in the United States, the used handbags, and various versions of Mr. Lao She's main works. Although I learned a lot of Mr. Lao She's works when I was in school, I have also admired many excellent works of the Yi population through novels, film and television dramas, dramas, etc., but after today's visit, I have harvested more comprehensive and detailed content, which is deeply felt. Lao She was born in Guangxu 24 years (1899) at the end of Qing Dynasty, and was born from the army households of the eight flags. My father was a red flag guard, so he was eligible to live in Beijing's inner city. At that time, he lived in Xinjiekou Xiaoyangquan Hutong No. 5. Because the second day of Lao She's birth was "Lichun", his father named him "Shu Qingchun". In 1900, Lao She's father, Shu Yongshou, fought against the eight-nation coalition forces. After being killed in the fight, Lao She's family can only rely on her mother to wash her clothes for people. At the age of nine, Lao She received funding from Master Zongyue and went to private school. Since then, Lao She has given herself the word "she to give". In 1924, Lao She went to the UK to be a lecturer at the Asian and African College of the University of London. And began to use the "old house" signature.
