Beijing Shi Chuanxiang Memorial Hall

Beijing Shi Chuanxiang Memorial Hall

The Beijing Shi Chuanxiang Memorial Hall is a patriotic education base.

Shi Chuanxiang was an ordinary night-soil collector on Beijing’s sanitation front, a first-generation labor model of New China, and an outstanding representative of the Chinese working class. With the noble spirit of “preferring to get dirty himself in order to bring cleanliness to thousands of households,” he selflessly dedicated his life to the ordinary job of sanitation, making extraordinary contributions to the capital’s sanitation cause. He vividly demonstrated the glory of labor and the value of life to people, setting a shining example of wholeheartedly serving the people for future generations. He is the pride of Dongcheng, the pride of the capital, and a role model for the entire nation to learn from forever.

The Shi Chuanxiang Memorial Hall was officially completed and opened to the public on October 26, 2009. Covering nearly 800 square meters, the memorial hall was renovated from the Longtan Park’s Longteng Pavilion courtyard. The exhibition inside utilizes modern high-tech electronic technology. The memorial hall consists of six parts: an exhibition corridor of deeds, two physical exhibit rooms, an LED display screen, a phantom imaging exhibition area, and a film and video screening hall. It provides a comprehensive and profound introduction and showcase of Comrade Shi Chuanxiang’s hardworking, simple, and persevering life from five aspects: “A Miserable Upbringing and Unyielding Character,” “Selfless Dedication and a Pure Heart,” “Warm Care and Tremendous Inspiration,” “Leading by Example and Glorious Heritage,” and “The Call of the Times and the Eternal Pursuit.”

As a labor model spirit education base in Beijing and a patriotic education base in Dongcheng District, the Shi Chuanxiang Memorial Hall fully demonstrates its positive social educational function, making outstanding contributions to promoting the spirit of labor models, upholding the mainstream values of society, and leading new social trends.
