After stirring up the situation in the Republic of China, he came to Suzhou to live in seclusion, but unexpectedly made a scenic spot.

I had a good time in Suzhou, and I heard interesting Suzhou every day. Zhang was a famous politician and educator in the Republic of China and a man of the hour in modern China. He travels around the world and has countless friends, but three people make him feel very headache. They are Chen Duxiu, Zhang Taiyan and Li Genyuan. ▲ Zhang: "I am young, inexperienced and have friends all over the world. I think there are three people who are the hardest to make friends: Chen Duxiu, Zhang Taiyan and Li Genyuan. Chen Duxiu is the initiator of the New Culture Movement, and his personality and disposition can indeed be called "outstanding", while Zhang Taiyan, a famous master of Chinese studies in the Republic of China, is even more famous as "Zhang Madman". Even people who are not familiar with him will know that this master must be very annoying as soon as they hear this name. ▲ Zhang Taiyan and Chen Duxiu So who is Li Genyuan? Looking back at history, we can find that Li Genyuan was not only born in a prominent family, but also a veteran of * * * and a mentor of Zhu De, the father of our country. He can write articles and fight, and he also has an indissoluble bond with Suzhou. He regards Suzhou as his second hometown. He not only stayed in the ancient city for more than ten years, but even chose to be buried in this land after his death. Originally from Yunnan, Li Genyuan met Sun Yat-sen during his stay in Japan, so he naturally joined the League and joined the revolution. 19 1 1 After the outbreak of Wuchang Uprising, Li Genyuan, who returned to his hometown, secretly consulted with his comrades and decided to recommend Cai E to lead the Uprising. As a result, things almost went wrong. At that time, the Governor of Yunnan in the Qing Dynasty heard this trouble and summoned Li Genyuan to lead his troops to "quell the rebellion." After pretending to promise to go back, Li Genyuan made a decisive decision and decided to rise ahead of schedule. After a bloody battle, Kunming was finally recovered. ▲ During the Anti-Japanese War, Li Genyuan (sixth from left) took a group photo with Feng Yuxiang (fourth from left) and Zhang Zhizhong (seventh from left) when he went to the front to express his condolences to the soldiers. In the following ten years, he followed Sun Yat-sen's anti-Qing and anti-Yuan campaigns and achieved fruitful results. However, he disagreed with Sun Yat-sen and eventually parted ways. After several years of tossing and turning, he talked with Liang Qichao in Hong Kong, supervised coastal defense in Guangzhou, served as governor in Shaanxi, and finally entered the National Assembly and was promoted to the general manager of Beiyang Agriculture, Industry and Commerce. But in those days, everything was eternal except turmoil, and everything else was short-lived and perishable. During the Republic of China, Cao Kun's bribery scandal broke out, and the decent Li Genyuan was so angry that he resolutely resigned and prepared to find a good place to retire and live a comfortable life. ▲ 1923 Cao Kun, who was elected as the fifth president of the Republic of China with a huge sum of money, is naturally a favorite of literati since ancient times. Before that, he had bought the house of Yao, a former scholar in Yunnan, in Shiquan Street, Suzhou, and changed the name of the house to "Queyuan" with his mother's surname. After quitting his job and deciding to retire, Li Genyuan moved to Suzhou on 1996, got married and had children, and hid in Shiquan Street. ▲ No.279 Shiquan Street, Suzhou, Li Genyuan's former residence spent most of his life in politics and military affairs. After retirement, he has a lot of leisure time, reading, traveling and studying. In fact, Li Genyuan has always liked to study and collect history. Even in the glorious years, he took time to care about the protection of local historical sites. Xi 'an Stele Forest, Guangdong Nanhua Temple, the tomb of Zhang Jiuling, a famous figure in Tang Dynasty, the tombs of Hai Rui and Qiu Jun in Ming Dynasty and the former residence of Su Dongpo in Dan County, Hainan Province were rebuilt. "Good things are found everywhere and then repaired. Suzhou, an ancient cultural city, completely suits his appetite. As a tourist, he visited famous scenic spots in Suzhou, such as Humble Administrator's Garden, Lion Grove and Tiger Hill. ▲ 1943, Li Genyuan was photographed in Tengchong, and then he traveled all over the city. He ran to Tianping Mountain and Lingyan Mountain outside the city, not only wrote down his visit to the Xishan Mountain in Wuxian County, but also took the lead in compiling Wuxian annals. If his old man had crossed over to the present, he might have become our special consultant for "Good Times in Suzhou". From time to time, he would say to us: your statement is not rigorous, so we should make a field trip to verify it! ▲ Li Genyuan Memorial Hall, Cang Shu Town, Wuzhong District, Suzhou Although Zhang thinks from the bottom of his heart that Zhang Taiyan is too difficult to deal with, the so-called people are divided into groups, but these two difficult people have the same interests. Zhang Taiyan came to Suzhou to give lectures at the invitation of Li Genyuan in his later years, and established the famous Suzhou National Society, with Li Genyuan as the vice president. After staying in Suzhou for a period of time, Li Genyuan lived in seclusion in Xiaowangshan near Taihu Lake for ten years, turning the originally barren and primitive Xiaowangshan into a scenic spot. ▲ Xiaowangshan Cliff Stone Carvings According to Li Genyuan's grandson, in his later years, his grandfather donated his life-long collection of Han portrait bricks, Weibei, ancient books, calligraphy and painting cultural relics, 93 epitaphs of the Tang Dynasty, and rubbings of Suzhou local inscriptions to Suzhou Cultural Management Association without reservation, which became a precious cultural relic owned by Suzhou. Today, No.279 Shiquan Street is Li Genyuan's former residence in the ancient city. It is said that the innermost bungalow belongs to his descendants. Although the gate is closed all the year round, there is an ancient well in the courtyard, and the inscription "Jiubaoquan, Li Genyuan Book in the Ten Years of the Republic of China" is engraved on the well circle. There are still many inscriptions by Li Genyuan in the former residence, which have long been blurred. Fortunately, time can only wear away these things carved on the surface, but it can't erase the moment when the stars shine in the history books.
