"called for so many years, the old house at 58 South New Street in Ji'nan was finally bought by the government and heard that it spent 4 million! Now the old people have moved away!" in the morning of March 10th, a warm heart The reader telephoned the reporter.
on-site visit: Lao She's home, now people have gone to the house empty
the reporter then came to the south new street located in the South Gate of Baotu Spring, and walked to Nantou near the South New Street, the east side of the road, courtyard 58. This is an independent small yard, the gate is closed, the walls have been painted a layer of yellow paint, the two "Fu" on the gate has faded, it looks like the new year's new year. The reporter knocked several times and tried to check in, but there was no response.
"there is no one living in this yard now! The tenants moved away before the new year, and the yard is very big." A nearby resident, Mr. Wang, who was walking on the street, said that the nearby residents knew the yard was old house, and he also heard that the yard had been bought by the government and was intended to be rebuilt, and it would be opened as a tourist attraction, but it has not been officially started yet. He thinks it's a good thing for the government to reclaim Lao She's home. Every year, there are many people who come to see Lao She's former residence. But because this is a private house, residents are very upset and often refuse their requests for admission.
cultural relics department: as far as possible the pattern of
"yes, Lao She's home was bought at the end of last year, with a total of about 4000000. At present, we are in the process of changing land use and property rights. In the afternoon of March 10th, the director of the Ji'nan Municipal Bureau of cultural relics said in an interview with a reporter that the cultural relics department should maintain and protect the former residence of Lao She in order to give full play to its cultural and tourist value. She said, now, the maintenance workers have removed and demolished the temporary buildings in Lao She's former residence, leaving only the main buildings such as the north house, the east house and the Westinghouse.
"in order to restore the existing old house 's home to the most possible way Mr. Lao she lived, we have a lot of work to do before the formal start of the maintenance." Yu Rong told reporters that the first plan is to find Lao Shu's son Shu Ji and Shu B in Beijing to understand the situation, and the two is to find information and understand the original appearance of the building. After fully grasping the situation, we will carry out a design and maintenance plan. As Lao She's former residence is a key cultural relic protection unit at the provincial level, the maintenance plan should be submitted to the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau for approval before construction can be carried out. In addition, they will keep collecting Lao She's cultural relics while maintaining Lao She's former residence.
"there are still some old buildings like this in the urban area, so we will try our best to protect them." But we hope to combine the protection and maintenance of individual cultural relics with the environmental transformation of the whole neighborhood and the whole city, and integrate them into the city's big cultural and tourism development planning. Only in this way can we make full use of its cultural and tourism value. It is difficult to give full play to the cultural value of a single old building if only the old building is repaired and it can not be effectively combined with the neighbourhood reconstruction.
research experts: it is good to protect the old house and add
to Ji'nan. This is not only conducive to the protection and utilization of Lao She's old house, but also to the improvement of the cultural taste of Ji'nan. On the afternoon of 10, Lao She's research expert, the vice president of the China Lao She Research Association, and Professor Zhang Guixing of Shandong Normal University were glad to know that Lao She's former residence was bought by the government. He told reporters: "Lao She called Ji'nan its" second home ". As a celebrity of world culture, Lao She's former residence should be well protected. "
"we all know that there are many celebrities in Ji'nan. Ji'nan celebrities include not only native scholars but also famous scholars who have been studying and working in Ji'nan all year round, and Lao She is one of them. Professor Zhang Guixing said that the protection of Lao She's former residence has an active role in cultural heritage and development of tourism resources, in addition to the irreplaceable academic value of Lao She's research.
"three years from summer 1931 to early 1934, Lao She has been living in this small courtyard. His eldest daughter, Shu Ji, was born here. Professor Zhang Guixing told reporters that, during the meantime, Lao She created a large number of literary works. The famous prose, "winter in Ji'nan", which was spread across the north and south of the river, was completed here.
"Lao She's former residence", No. 58 Nan Xin Jie, was found in 1981 by Mrs. Lao She, Hu Xieqing. I was involved in the accompanying visit. Professor Zhang Guixing recalls that although the time has passed for decades, Mrs. Hu Xieqing's entry into the yard is quickly remembered as a place previously lived, when the roofs of the north house had been modified, and the other basically did not change too much. "
" in the future, if the cultural relics department collects information about Lao She's cultural relics, I will consider donating some of my old she studies and collection of Lao She's works. " Professor Zhang Guixing told reporters.
"Lao She's former residence can be renovated and opened to the public very well! This is very helpful for citizens to understand Lao She." Mr. Li Yaoxi, a study expert in Ji'nan's history, says it is not possible for Lao She's home to fully recover its original appearance. The key is to protect some old things in his old house and some old buildings around his old house. For example, No. 51, Nan Xin Street, is now a provincial office dormitory. There are small western buildings in the Republic of China. These things also need to be protected together. Only in this way can we better reflect the scene of Lao She's life here, and better show the depth and breadth of Ji'nan's history and culture.
