The former site of the headquarters of the Seventh Branch of the Chinese People's Anti-Japanese Military and Political University (abbreviated as the Seventh Branch of the Anti-Japanese University) is located in Donghuachi Village, Linzhen Township, Huachi County. It currently retains 22 stone-vaulted cave dwellings and one courtyard complex. From 1943 to 1946, only one session was held in Huachi, with the number of students peaking at over 5,200. Peng Shaohui served as the president, and Yu Chujie as the vice president. The students of the Seventh Branch of the Anti-Japanese University actively responded to the Party Central Committee’s call to “work on our own to ensure adequate food and clothing.” They studied while also engaging in production, creating abundant material and spiritual wealth.
The former headquarters site backs onto the Brick Pagoda of Donghuachi and faces the “Huachi Pond.” It is hailed as the “Little Yan’an of Longdong.”
