The old house of the Republic of China in the alley of Ningbo has a history of nearly a hundred years but no one cares about it. The main original owner has a bad reputation.

I love photography and traveling. I am so magical and want to share the beauty of the journey with you.

Because of the film and television effect of "Shanghai Bund", when talking about the customs of the Republic of China, many tourists will think of Shanghai. The small western-style buildings and the combination of Chinese and Western architectural styles have formed a unique style of the times. Ningbo, not far from Shanghai, also has exquisite Republic of China buildings, such as the Ningbo Post Office along the Bund, the former site of Xie's family, the former site of Zhejiang Customs, etc. In fact, there is a mysterious old house "living in seclusion" in a residential alley in Zhenhai, Ningbo. It has a history of nearly a hundred years and has the style of old Shanghai. It is the former residence of a "celebrity", but Ningbo people don't like him because he is too famous. Smelly.

This grand and mysterious old house from the Republic of China is the Fu House in Zhenhai, Ningbo. It is located in an inconspicuous old alley at No. 4, Renmin Road, Zhaobaoshan Street, in the old town of Zhenhai. The locals call it Fu's House, and its original name was Fu Qianyue. It was built in 1922 and is a zumalou-style courtyard that combines Chinese and Western styles. Because of its exquisite construction and complete preservation, it has also been rated as one of the "Top Ten" in Ningbo. One of the modern buildings.

The gate of Fu's house is very period and luxurious. The four layers of stone carvings are carved with different patterns. The pattern of five bats is made of round nails on the gate, which means five blessings. The first floor of Fu's House has two floors, with both Chinese-style wooden doors and windows, and European-style stone pillars and stone carvings. Different from the darkness of the traditional courtyard, the white stone pillars of Fu's House make the whole building bright and look particularly grand. Like the western-style villas of the wealthy people in Shanghai in the TV series.

The second floor of Fu's house is a very distinctive parquet floor. I heard it was specially imported during the Republic of China. It is over a hundred years old. When paired with the black wooden corridor, even if it is placed It’s also very fashionable now. The roof, terrace, and circular glass windows on the second floor give people the feeling of a garden, and also have the style of Gothic architecture, which is very much in the style of the Republic of China. There is also an old tree in the courtyard, which looks quite old. Its existence also adds a touch of fresh green to this old house.

The whole Fu's house is not big, and there are not many tourists here. Sometimes there are only a few people here a day. Most of them are young people who come here to check in and take pictures. It is especially popular with wedding and photography companies. After all, You can take authentic photos of the Republic of China style here. Foreign tourists may ask, why are so few people aware of this very nice building of the Republic of China? The main reason is that the original owner has a bad reputation.

The owner of Fu Zhai was originally Fu Xiaoan, a wealthy man in Shanghai, who was also a "celebrity" in Shanghai at that time. But his most unpleasant identity is that of the mayor of Shanghai under the Wang Puppet Government. Because he took refuge with the Japanese and did many bad things, he was called one of the "Top Ten Traitors of the Republic of China". During the Anti-Japanese War, Fu Xiaoan was killed by his trusted cook, ending a controversial life.

After liberation, Fu Zhai became the office space of the Zhenhai County People's Government, and later became the office space of the CPPCC Department. Now it has become the Zhenhai Old Town Exhibition Hall. Multiple exhibition halls on the upper and lower floors show the origin and development of Zhenhai, becoming a new place for memories of the old city.

In fact, there are many exquisite old buildings with stories hidden in the small alleys of Ningbo. Have you ever noticed them? And have you been to Zhenhai, an old house from the Republic of China that has been surrounded by wind and rain for hundreds of years? If you are interested in Zhenhai Old Town and its stories, you might as well come here and take a look.
