Former Site of the Command Post of the Wushan Guerrilla Unit in the Fujian-Guangdong Border Region at ZuiZuiZhai

The Former Site of the Command Post of the Wushan Guerrilla Unit in the Fujian-Guangdong Border Region at ZuiZuiZhai is a Fujian Provincial Cultural Relics Protection Unit and a classic red tourism destination.

The Former Site of the Command Post of the Wushan Guerrilla Unit in the Fujian-Guangdong Border Region at ZuiZuiZhai is located in Changtian Natural Village, Hunei Village, Jinxing Township, Zhao’an County, Zhangzhou City, Fujian Province. It is a fortified residential complex where the local Shen clan of Changtian lived together, and also the former residence of Shen Zhou, a righteous figure from the Ming Dynasty, and General Shen Rui Zhou, a patriotic military leader from the late Qing Dynasty and early Republican period. The fortress was built during the Ming Dynasty. Due to limitations in the foundation during construction, the main gate of the building is offset from the central axis—hence the name “ZuiZuiZhai” (Crooked-Mouth Fortress). The building covers an area of 1,038 square meters and retains its original layout and spatial structure. It is a two-story structure, with the rear gable and side gables connected at rounded corners. The exterior walls are built with rammed earth and are quite high. The second floor is equipped with numerous gun ports, giving it a distinct defensive function. In front of the fortress gate stands a stone flagpole erected in honor of Shen Rui Zhou, a martial arts scholar and imperial guard with a peacock feather in the third year of the Guangxu reign (1877). ZuiZuiZhai served as an important operational base for the command post of the Wushan Guerrilla Unit and the Southern Fujian Detachment of the Fujian-Guangdong-Jiangxi Border Region. During the Second Revolutionary Civil War, figures such as Lin Qiuguang, captain of the Wushan Guerrilla Unit, Shen Muchai, captain of the guerrilla guard unit, and guerrillas Shen Changyuan, Shen Bian Tou, and Shen Ahu engaged in prolonged revolutionary activities here—including meetings, liaison work, and combat operations. During the War of Resistance against Japan, leaders of the Yunhezhao County Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Fujian-Guangdong Independent Battalion, such as Lu Sheng and Chen Wenping, also operated here. Likewise, during the Liberation War, leaders of the Southern Fujian Detachment of the Fujian-Guangdong-Jiangxi Border Region at Wushan, including Wang Hanjie and Li Awai, conducted revolutionary activities in this fortress. Between 1929 and 1949, over 60 young men from Hunei Village joined the Wushan Guerrilla Unit, making significant contributions and sacrifices for the revolution.
