Site of the Liansheng Community School

The Site of the Liansheng Community School is a cultural heritage protection unit of Guangzhou.

The Site of the Liansheng Community School is located at No. 131, Liansheng West Road, Taihe Town, Baiyun District. It was built in 1838 and is classified as an important modern historical site and representative building.

On the evening of December 13, 1927, over 1,200 officers and soldiers from the Training Regiment who took part in the Guangzhou Uprising, together with some fighters of the Workers' Militia led by Xu Xiangqian, withdrew from downtown Guangzhou to Taihe. They set up camps separately at the Liansheng Community School and the Xie Family Ancestral Hall, and later marched toward Haifeng-Lufeng. On the evening of the 14th, the retreating troops passed through Zhuliao and arrived in Huaxian County, where they were reorganized into the Fourth Division of the Chinese Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army, then headed to Haifeng-Lufeng to join forces with Peng Pai.

In July 2002, it was announced as part of the sixth batch of Guangzhou Cultural Heritage Protection Units.
