Exhibition Hall of the History of the Struggle of the Underground Communist Party Organization in Shanghai

　　On Yuyuan Road in the bustling Jing’an Temple area stands a brick-and-wood Western-style house that was one of the first to employ the technique of integral building reinforcement and sliding relocation. This was the former residence of Liu Changsheng, an outstanding leader of the Shanghai labor movement and the underground Communist Party at the time, as well as one of the secret offices of the Central Committee of the CPC Shanghai Bureau. In 1992, the residence was designated as a Shanghai Revolutionary Memorial Site.

　　The precious belongings of Comrade Liu Changsheng add significant historical value to the Exhibition Hall of the History of the Struggle of the Underground Communist Party Organization in Shanghai. The lifelike miniature scenes of the “April 12 Counter-revolutionary Coup” and the “Water Dungeon at No. 76 Devil’s Den” instantly transport visitors into those intense moments through sound and lighting effects. The final words and personal items of the martyrs vividly recreate the indomitable and successive spirit of the Shanghai Communist Party organization. Seemingly unremarkable secret liaison points of the underground party, such as the Rongtai Tobacco Shop and Fengji Rice Shop, spark visitors’ curiosity to uncover the secrets behind the success of the Party’s revolution. With its wealth of historical materials and meticulous design, Liu Changsheng’s former residence holds a unique value among Shanghai’s must-visit sites.
