In the spring of 1928, Xiong Jinge, who was serving as the Party Central Committee’s accountant in Shanghai, rented three rooms on the upper floor of the Shengli Hospital at No. 447 Yunnan Road (now No. 171–173 Yunnan Middle Road) under the guise of a businessman, setting up the Party Central Committee’s Political Bureau office there and hanging a sign for the “Fuxing” business as a cover. From the autumn of 1928 to April 1931, leaders of the Central Political Bureau, the Central Military Commission, and the Jiangsu Provincial Committee—including Zhou Enlai, Xiang Ying, Qu Qiubai, Li Lisan, Peng Pai, Deng Xiaoping, Li Weihan, Li Fuchun, Ren Bishi, and Deng Zhongxia—often held meetings here. Zhou Enlai worked here almost daily. In late April 1931, due to the arrest and betrayal of a party member, the office was safely relocated under Zhou Enlai’s personal arrangements. The site now features simple text information. It currently serves as residential housing and is not open to the public.
