Located at No. 191, Songjiang Road, with a total area of 2,712 square meters and building area of 1,124.85 square meters. Established in 1917, the school has nurtured a large number of patriotic figures and renowned scholars for the country. Notably, the great leader of the Korean people, Comrade Kim Il-sung, studied and engaged in revolutionary activities here from 1927 to 1930. After liberation, the Chinese government preserved the classroom where Kim Il-sung studied and officially designated it as the "Memorial Room of Comrade Kim Il-sung's Study" in 1953, which has since undergone multiple renovations. A bronze statue of Kim Il-sung has been erected in the courtyard. This site stands as a testament to the solidarity, shared struggle, and enduring friendship between the peoples of China and Korea in resisting foreign aggression.
