Former Residence of Song Feiqing

The former residence of Song Feiqing is a cultural tourism attraction.

The residence of Song Feiqing is located at No. 116 Machang Road, Heping District. Built in 1937, it covers an area of 2,018 square meters. It is a two-story Western-style building constructed with brick and wood, featuring red tiled sloping roofs, a self-contained courtyard, and an elegant environment. Its design is graceful and generous, laid out in a garden-style pattern. Several steps lead up to a platform with low walls around the building, and the layout is exquisitely arranged. Its elegant style adds unique charm to Machang Road. The building is currently used as the Ninth Kindergarten of Heping District and is listed as an immovable cultural relic in Tianjin that has not yet been announced as a protected cultural heritage site.

Mention Song Feiqing today, and many young and middle-aged people may not be familiar with him. But bring up Tianjin East Asia Woolen Mill Co., Ltd. and the Diyang brand of wool yarn, and many more will likely know about them.

Song Feiqing (1898–1955) was from Yidu (now Qingzhou City), Shandong Province. He attended elementary school in his hometown starting at age six, went to junior high school in Shanghai in 1912, and attended high school in Beiping (now Beijing) in 1914. From 1917 onward, he studied successively at Qilu University and Yenching University. In August 1920, Song Feiqing went to the United States to study business administration along with chemistry courses at Northwestern University’s School of Commerce in Chicago. 1…… More detailed information about Song Feiqing ++
