Meikui Hall — the Former Residence of Zhu De and Headquarters of the Fourth Red Army

Meikui Hall — the Former Residence of Zhu De and Headquarters of the Fourth Red Army is a cultural relic protection unit of Yongchun County.

Meikui Hall is the former residence of Zhu De and the headquarters of the Fourth Red Army, located in Fuzhong Village, Hengkou Township, Yongchun County.

In August 1929, Comrade Zhu De led the Second and Third Columns of the Fourth Red Army, numbering over 3,000 troops, on a campaign into central Fujian. While stationed in Fuding Township, Yongchun County (which includes the present-day Fuzhong, Fulian, and Huafeng villages of Hengkou Township) for rest and recuperation, he set up the headquarters of the Fourth Red Army at Meikui Hall. Comrade Zhu De also stayed here.

Meikui Hall was built in the late Qing Dynasty as a wooden residential structure. It features a width of three bays, a depth of three bays, a post-and-lintel and Dougong-style wooden frame, and a flush-gable roof. The building covers an area of 375 square meters.

In December 1982, it was listed among the first batch of cultural relic protection units of Yongchun County.
