Former Site of Dacheng Middle School

　　The “Former Site of Dacheng Middle School” is a cultural heritage site protected by the Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture. It is situated within Longjing Middle School at No. 789 Minsheng Street, Longjing City, Jilin Province, approximately 20 kilometers from Yanji International Airport. As an exclusive exhibition hall for historical materials on the Chinese Korean ethnic group, it mainly collects documents related to the development of education and the history of the anti-Japanese struggle among the Korean people in China since the late 19th century. It records the origins of Longjing, the educational development of the Korean people in the Yanbian region, the history of the anti-Japanese struggle centered in Longjing, as well as introductions to anti-Japanese heroes. The exhibits showcase the revolutionary history of the Korean people in China, who, in the early 1920s under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party, fought alongside Korean communists and anti-Japanese patriots in their arduous struggle against Japanese imperialism. Dacheng Middle School was established in 1921 and has nurtured many outstanding individuals of various ethnicities. These alumni now reside in 13 countries and regions around the world and have made significant contributions to human civilization and progress. Among them are one Vice President of China, one Premier of the State Council, ten ministers, eleven high-ranking military officials, eight university presidents, as well as numerous other notable figures including government employees, university professors, doctors, engineers, entrepreneurs, and more. The exhibition hall was set up in the original Dacheng Middle School building in 1994. Since the reform and opening-up period, it has attracted a large number of domestic and international tourists. Currently, it receives about 80,000 overseas visitors annually, most of whom are from South Korea. To enhance reception services and improve the facilities and environment of the museum, over 80,000 yuan has been invested in infrastructure upgrades. Approximately 50,000 to 60,000 yuan is required each year for the purchase of tourist souvenirs, which largely meet visitor needs.
