Past lives of Xi 'an Incident Memorial Hall

I graduated from university in 1983 and was assigned to Xi' an Design Institute of the Ministry of Light Industry. The former site of the design institute is located in Sidao Lane, Xi 'an Dong. After decades of social changes, the campus has moved twice, but it has always been nearby. Now he works in Shaanxi Shanglian Building, Jianguo Lane, Dongmen, xi City. The old campus is rented by a seven-day hotel chain, which is only more than 300 meters apart.

As the most important event in China's modern history, the Xi incident can even be said to be a turning point that changed the trend of world history. The producers in China, represented by Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai, successfully solved the incident with great courage and broad mind beyond ordinary people's imagination, thus forming the situation of the second cooperation between the two countries and the * * * fight against the Japanese aggressors, and its historical achievements are immortal.

1986, on the occasion of commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Xi Incident, the former Zhang Xueliang Mansion, the main site of the Xi Incident on Jianguo Road in Xi, built the Xi Incident Memorial Hall and became a patriotic education base and tourist attraction.

For decades, I have been close at hand, passing by and visiting several times, and I have been deeply impressed by patriotism education.

In a broad sense, the Memorial Hall of the An Incident consists of several places, including Zhang Xueliang Mansion, Yang Hucheng Villa, Huanglou (then the office of the provincial capital), Sub-Mansion (next door to Zhang Mansion, now Shaanxi Writers Association), Xijing Guest House (then living in Chiang Kai-shek's suite), Lintong Five Pavilions and Bin Jiange (where Chiang Kai-shek and Zhang Xueliang were arrested and remonstrated). General patriotism education can be visited in Zhang Mansion on Jianguo Road.

As a patriotic education base, the Xi Incident Memorial Hall is a rare and important tourist place to learn about the modern history of China. In recent years, there have been an endless stream of tourists, and they are deeply touched after visiting!

The memorial hall is free to visit, and visitors only need to bring their ID cards to verify and get tickets to visit. This year's epidemic, you need to make an online appointment in advance+scan the itinerary code on site, and wear a green mask to enter the tour.

The memorial hall is located in Xi No.26 Middle School opposite Jianguo Road (originally built for children to go to school after the Northeast Army entered Shaanxi). The entire museum area is about 40 meters wide from north to south and 200 meters long from east to west. The renovated gate (when cars came in and out, the original gate was located in the alley on the north side of the courtyard, and the Buick used by Zhang Xueliang has been sealed) opened in the west side of the courtyard facing Jianguo Road.

The layout of the courtyard building is: the southeast side is set with an isolation distance of 1-2m along the south wall, sitting in a three-story building facing south, living and working, the bungalow in the southwest corner of the south side was used for logistics at that time, and the north side was used as a guard, assistant and concierge (now an exhibition room) by the wall. There is a green belt in the center of the courtyard, and now some garden trees such as osmanthus are planted.

It is convenient to visit the Xi Incident Memorial Hall on the road to the founding of the People's Republic of China from other places. Airport, high-speed railway station Metro Line 4, get off at Dashashi Station, walk 400 meters east, and arrive at Xi 'an Station. There are many buses, and there are many subway lines 4. Get off at Dashashi Station.

It is suggested that the tour time is 2 hours, and it is appropriate to arrange a day to visit the city wall (the east gate can go up and down) and Yongxing Square Food Street (a famous snack and a famous broken bowl of wine in Shaanxi).

There are many well-received foods on Jianguo Road, such as Hanzhong yellow spicy diced food, Henan Beiwudu Hu spicy soup+fried buns, Jufu fish restaurant, Northeast Xiaoer pancake, Ai Ju biangbiang noodles, Wang Hongma Laosi diced pork Hu spicy soup+chopped green onion pancake, Hanzhong hot rice skin, Guangsha preserved beef bag+Shaanxi Hu spicy soup, etc. You can understand the food demand before and after the tour.

On the north side of the memorial hall is the courtyard of Shaanxi Writers Association (formerly Purple Mansion), where famous great writers such as Jia Pingwa, Chen and Lu Yao once worked and created.

Gao Guizi,1891-1959, a native of Dingbian, Shaanxi, was a lieutenant general in the Kuomintang army. Mao Zedong praised him for "War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, which is the glory of the people of China". After the founding of New China, he served as the vice-chairman and CPPCC member of the first CPPCC in Shaanxi Province.

My wife's relative is a descendant, and her third uncle is a son of Gao.
