Wuzhen Wang Huiwu Memorial Hall

The Wang Huiwu Memorial Hall is located at Lingshui Residence in Xizha, Wuzhen. The memorial consists of two sections, front and back, spanning two floors, with numerous artifacts and photos showcasing her extraordinary life.

Wang Huiwu was the wife of Li Da. Born in Wuzhen in 1898, she met Li Da—one of the founders of the Chinese Communist Party—in 1919, and the two were married in 1920. In 1921, during the convening of the First National Congress of the Chinese Communist Party, Wang Huiwu served as a staff member. After the meeting was disrupted by French Concession police, it was moved to a pleasure boat on South Lake in Jiaxing upon the suggestion of Wang Huiwu and others, allowing the agenda to be successfully completed. Wang Huiwu passed away in Beijing in 1993.
