Wanhangdu Road is a street located in Jing'an District and Changning District, starting from Yuyuan Road in the south, connecting huashan Road, north to Caojiadu to the west, and finally to Changning Road, connecting to Loushanguan Road. It is 4830 meters long. It is 15.1 to 21.7 meters wide. Part of the road runs along the south bank of the Suzhou River. In the era of the concession, it was called Jessfield Road (Jessfield Road), which was built for the crossing of the Shanghai Public Concession in 1864, and was a road built and managed by the Shanghai Public Concession Ministry bureau to cross the border west of the concession. After the concession was returned to China in 1943, the road was renamed Van Huang Du Road. In 1964, it was renamed Wanhangdu Road in a consonant tone.
There are many historical buildings and celebrity homes on Wanhangdu Road, but the main attractions to me are two old sites - one is the headquarters of the former Wang pseudo-"76" agent, and the other is St. John's University. Let's take a look now.

Lane 320, Wanhangdu Road
Lane 320, Wanhangdu Road, where Hu Shi, a famous modern scholar and a strong man of the "May Fourth" new cultural movement, once lived. In June 1927, Hu Shi rented a small bungalow at No. 49 Jisifei Road in Huxi (now Lane 320, Wanhangdu Road) and brought his wife Jiang Dongxiu and his two children Hu Zuwang and Hu Sidu to settle in Shanghai.
During those years, Hu Shi's work and social travel were very rich. In August 1927, he was appointed as a professor at Guanghua University, and at the same time, together with Xu Zhimo, Liang Shiqiu, Shao Xunmei, etc., he organized the "New Moon" magazine and the New Moon Bookstore. In March 1928, he became the president of his alma mater, the Chinese Public School. He also took in an "apprentice" Luo Ergang and went to his home to work as a tutor for his two sons. Luo Ergang later became a well-known expert in the history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and he also wrote a book called "Shimen Humiliation and Teaching", recalling the life in Hu Shi's Shanghai home.
Which is the apartment of Hu Shi's year, there are different theories. According to the line map, No. 49 Jisifei Road should be the west of Lane 320 of Wanhangdu Road, but according to the residents living in this lane, it is No. 42 lane.
Wanhangdu Road, Lane 320, No. 42
No. 42, Lane 320, Wanhangdu Road, and No. 44 next door are interconnected false three-story buildings. No matter which one it is, it is certain that Hu Shi was haunted in this alley. In November 1930, Hu Shi and his family left Shanghai to beiping to serve as the president of Peking University and the head of the Department of Chinese Literature, and the apartment on Jisifei Road was returned to the landlord.
At No. 40 Jisifei Road (now No. 323 Wanhangdu Road), diagonally opposite Hu Shi's apartment, lived Zhang Yuanji, the manager of the Commercial Press and a publisher, and according to records, Hu Shi and Zhang Yuanji "looked at each other with each other, and the times were too obedient." In the 1990s, Due to the widening of Wuning South Road, Zhang Yuanji's former residence was demolished.

Because the nest was located at No. 76 Jisifei Road (now No. 435 Wanhangdu Road) in western Huxi, it was referred to as "No. 76". It is the pseudo-secret agent magic cave that was later mentioned and discolored.
No. 76 North Of Huxi Jisifei Road (now No. 435 Wanhangdu Road), adjacent to No. 74 to the east and No. 75 across the road, are all garden houses built by foreigners who purchased land from Daotai Yamen in that year, and the door number is a white house on a blue background of the public concession. Before the fall, it was the residence of Chen Tiaoyuan, the chairman of Anhui Province, with a Western-style building, a new-style bungalow, and a large garden.
The gate is Western-style. On the east side of the gate, after the sixth congress of the Wang puppet Kuomintang was held on September 1, 1939, and before the "National Government Was Returned to the Capital" in March 1940, more than 20 Chinese-style bungalows were built opposite the north and south sides, which were used as the Social Department of the Central Committee of the Wang Puppet Kuomintang. On the east side of the gate, a lookout was built facing Jisfer Road. Those who want to enter the gate must have a light blue pass.
The second gate was originally Western-style, "76" was changed to archway type, the middle was the doorway, and the upper plaque was "The world is public" with white characters on a blue background; the left and right two rooms were gun holes, and two machine guns were erected as guards. Those who want to enter the second door must have a reddish pass.
On the east side of the second gate, more than 20 Chinese-style bungalows with two long strips opposite the north and south have been added. The westernmost room in the south is the office of Wu Shibao, the captain of the guard brigade. The westernmost room in the north is the interrogation room. The rest were garrisons of the Guard Brigade, which later became the offices of the various rooms of the "76".
Diagonally opposite the west side within the second gate, is a three-story western-style building called a "high bungalow", and those who want to enter the high bungalow must have a special sign behind the collar. Walk up the stairs and be greeted by the hall and stairs. The first room on the east side of the first floor is the reception room, which has two social flowers as receptionists. Behind the reception room is a room inside and outside, and the outer room is a telephone connection room, with three male operators on duty in three shifts, and two socialites sometimes come to help; inside is a storage room. Opposite the reception room is the large dining room (dining room), which has a door leading to the back of the conference room, which is also the oath room of the new agents of "76".

In front of the tall bungalow is a large garden, and a large flower shed on the west side of the garden has been converted into a detention center. A new two-room building was built on the west side of the flower shed as an electrical room, and the radio station was located here. In front of the flower shed is a three-room bungalow with a novel architectural form, which was used as a supervisor of the Japanese gendarmerie.
On the west side of the high-level bungalow, there was a three-room, two-entry Shikumen building, which was later opened up to the downstairs room, and the patio was set up with a glass ceiling, and a podium was set up, which was changed into a large hall that could accommodate more than 200 people, and Wang Jingwei's "Sixth National Congress of the Chinese Kuomintang" was held here. After the Sixth National Congress of the Wang Puppet Kuomintang was held on September 1, 1939, and before the "Return of the National Government" in March 1940, one part was used as a purge committee, and the other part was used as the Social Department of the Central Committee of the Wang Puppet Kuomintang.
"76" was occupied on September 1, 1939 when the Sixth National Congress of the Wang Puppet Kuomintang was held, and later used as the residence of senior officials of the "76", the Purging Committee, and the Central Social Department of the Wang Puppet Kuomintang. To this end, the alley door of Huacun was closed, and a convenient door was opened on the western wall of "76" to enter and exit through the "76" gate.

No. 540 Wanhangdu Road is a veranda-style garden house built by early European foreigners in China, with a gentle roof, a large eaves, wooden decoration under the eaves, and continuous semicircle floor-to-ceiling windows or open corridors on the ground floor façade. There is a garden in the southeast corner of the building, a rainbow wooden bridge is built on both sides of the creek, and huge pebbles are piled near the creek, and the thick and tall trees in the distance shade the sun, creating a rest space.
This is the former residence of Sheng Enyi (Wujin, Jiangsu, 1892~1958). Sheng Enyi was Sheng Xuanhuai's fourth son and most beloved son, and was given the name given by Empress Dowager Cixi. After studying at the University of London in the United Kingdom and Columbia University in the United States, he inherited the family business of his father Sheng Xuanhuai, and served as the director of the Jinpu Railway Bureau, the general manager of Hanyeping Company, the general manager and chairman of Fengsheng Industrial Company, the manager of Sanxin Spinning Factory and China Commerce and Commerce Bank. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he set up Hongji Zendo in Shanghai to distribute opium for Japan and served as the managing director of the Huazhong Hydropower Company, which was operated in Japan.
Sheng Enyi's starting point in life is quite high - his father is a powerful faction of foreign affairs, his father-in-law is Sun Baoqi, the prime minister of the Republic of China, he himself studied in Britain and the United States, and his mother, Lady Zhuang, is the head of shengfu. It is said that he should have achieved a good family business, but Sheng Enyi, who was pampered from childhood, eventually became a profligate and extravagant male brother.
Sheng Enyi's "heroic deeds" of throwing money are well-known in Shanghai. He bought the first Mercedes-Benz sedan imported from Shanghai. To show his difference, he also replaced the handlebars with silver with his name engraved on them. His car license plate is also very "profound", because he is the fourth oldest in the family, so his car concession license plate is 4444, and the Chinese license plate is 4, so that as soon as others see his car, they know that the sheng family is coming.
Sheng Enyi not only squandered himself, but also equipped each aunt with a garden house and an imported car, plus a group of male servants and maids. At his peak, he raised 75 horses at the racecourse. But compared to gambling, these are all pieces of cake. Sheng Enyi's record in the casino was to lose the alley with more than 100 houses along The Yellow River Road on Beijing Road overnight to Lu Xiaojia, the son of Lu Yongxiang, the governor of Zhejiang. Such gambling funds are probably unimaginable to ordinary gamblers.
He went out all day in black and white, sleeping day and night, not for work, but for fun. This point was also confirmed by his friends at the table: "Sheng Lao Si slept a lot during the day and did not get up until four or five o'clock in the afternoon." When you wake up, you see that you have to use money, and the cash at home is not enough, what should you do? Go to the bank, the bank on the street has closed, then you have to come up with the old method of the Sheng family, anyway, there are antique things in the house, just take one to the pawnshop to be used, exchange for money, until the next day the bank opens, and then send someone to withdraw money, to the pawnshop to redeem the antiques. The pawnshop has almost become his second bank, which is a big joke of the Sheng Lao four families. ”
After the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Sheng Enyi was already very poor, and he and Li Hongzhang's grandson Li Houfu often wandered the streets. Once, when I arrived at the gate of Xiangyang Park, both of them wanted to go in and sit down, but you looked at me, I looked at you, and no one could come up with the money to buy tickets.
In 1958, Sheng Enyi fell into poverty and died in the gatehouse of his former mansion (Suzhou Lingering Garden).
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Huayuan Garden, No. 540 Wanhangdu Road, was once the sanatorium of Zhengtai Rubber Factory.

Immovable cultural relics number: 310106945190000097 The former site of the single dormitory building of the Bank of China, Caojiadu Street, Republic of China
Address: Wanhangdu Road 623 Lane 1
No. 1, Lane 623, Wanhangdu Road, is the former site of zhongzhen primary school, and is one of the first houses built in 1924. At the beginning of the construction, it was used as a supporting house for the bona fide industry, and later converted into Zhongzhen Primary School, the school classrooms are mainly on the second and third floors, and the auditorium on the first floor is used by the school and the residents of the BOC. Later, it was rebuilt as wanhangdu road second primary school, and now it is a business building.
Wanhangdu Road Lane 623 in the bank of other industries
"BOC Beiye", located in Lane 623, Wanhangdu Road, means a house purchased by the Bank of China outside of its business premises. It is an ordinary house funded by the Shanghai branch of the Bank of China. Founded in 1923, it was originally a staff dormitory built by the Bank of China, hence the name. It took several additions from 1931 to 1933 and after the liberation of Shanghai that the status quo was formed.
At that time, the decision-maker who established the BOC branch was Song Hanzhang. Song Hanzhang was the first general manager of the Bank of China (then known as the Great Qing Bank), and he always lived frugally and cared for his subordinates. According to rumors, when he died in Hong Kong in the 1960s, his legacy was only tens of thousands of dollars. With Song Hanzhang, as China's premier banker of the 200s, the Duke of Song can be regarded as a clean-sleeved and honest official.
Legend has it that a senior and young clerk of the Bank of China died of illness, and Song Hanzhang, who has always loved his subordinates, will personally pay homage to the employees when they die. He found the old employee's family of four huddled together. Stopping for the old employees, the family removed the bed. But after all, the living room is shallow and narrow, and the old employee's spiritual bed is headed by a long floor-to-ceiling window facing the patio, so that the window door cannot be closed. It was raining heavily, and the rain outside the window was constantly pouring in. Song Hanzhang was very sad in his eyes, and the idea of providing free high-quality housing for BOC employees came to fruition.
On October 31, 1923, proposed by Song Hanzhang and discussed and approved by the Standing Board of Directors, the land was purchased to create a "bona fide industry". The first to be built were brick and wood single-bay three-story conjoined Shikumen houses for low-level employees with poor living conditions. It was not until 1930 that a special garden house was built for the nine managers at that time. The completion of bona fide businesses, I don't know how many white-collar workers are envious, in addition to showing the solid strength of BOC, but also reflects the good intentions of the top level to put the people first and sympathize with employees.
Famous jurist Jiang Yong (Chongqing Bishan, 1878~1960, jurist. In his early years, he served as the chief justice of the Beiyang government. The deputy director of the Shanghai Municipal Museum of Culture and History) once lived in The Middle Bank of China, Lane 623, Wanhangdu Road.

In 1919, french nuns Ruispe and Jin Yu preached in Caojiadu and built St. Michael's Church. In 1921, Cao Jiadu's enthusiastic catholics donated three bungalows and a vacant lot for religious activities, and later rebuilt a brick and wood building, the Old Church. In 1930, a temporary new church was built with land donated by Catholics. In 1931 (the 22nd year of the Republic of China), it was upgraded to the main hall. In 1933, the foreign Priest Jin built a total of six priest's dormitories on the side of the new church. In 1935, due to the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the new lobby was suspended, and the engineering team built a statue of the god Miertian next to the small garden grape shed to worship. In 1937, the Diocese of Shanghai carved out a part of the parish from the Songjiang Priesthood to establish the Jiabao Priesthood. The Archbishop's Cathedral is located in The Church of Saint Mier of Caojiadu. After liberation, religious activities gradually decreased, and by 1958, due to education, the nuns' residence was removed and the church was moved to No. 108 Beicao Family House (i.e., No. 108 Changning Road).
The church was closed during the Cultural Revolution, and on December 25, 1984, after the reform and opening up, Caojiadu Church reopened. In 1996, in order to compensate for the occupation of the priest's building in the primary school, the Changning District Education Bureau assigned the original kindergarten location behind the Caojiadu Church to the church. Until 2004, the area where CaojiaduTang was located coincided with the transformation of the old district, so it was planned to relocate the new church again, and April 25, 2009 was the foundation day of the new church.
After two and a half years of construction and decoration, on September 29, 2011, the three general leaders of the gods paid a ceremony, and the new Caojiadu St. Michael's Tenjin Church was solemnly opened under the care and dedication of many elders, and 1,000 people attended the ceremony.

Address: Wanhangdu Road 1384 Lane 12
Number of floors: 2 to 3 floors; Structure type: brick and wood structure; Year of construction: 1910s; Protection category: category 3
Lane 1384 of Wanhangdu Road is a lake silk stack founded in 1874. At that time, it was a workshop and stack for processing Huzhou silk cocoons, because it was prepared by Huzhou silk merchants, so it was named "Lake Silk Stack".
"Lake Silk Stack" is the earliest enterprise engaged in silk processing in Shanghai, and subsequently, nearly 10 factories such as Xinchang Silk Factory have also been opened along Jisifei Road (now Wanhangdu Road) and in the area of Beixinjing Town. The products produced by "Lake Silk Stack" have been well received by the market and are also exported to Europe.
However, with the dumping of a large number of foreign rayon and the outbreak of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the half-century business history of the Lake Silk Stack was forced to be interrupted, and the original factory was changed into a military supply factory, and it was also used as a warehouse of Dafeng Cloth Factory and Changshu Steamship Company, and after liberation, it became the warehouse of the Municipal Hardware and Power Company, which can be described as a turbulent fate.
The existing building is a partial, brick and wood structure of the original lake silk stack, built around 1910. The shape of the building is simple, with a clear water green brick exterior wall, horizontal red brick belt decoration, curved coupon window, and pilasters on the outer wall. Internal structural components such as triangular wooden house frames are characteristic.
The low brick and wood structure, upstairs and downstairs are all warehouses and workshops practical datong room layout, with typical era branding and Jiangnan style. The most rare thing is that the beams with a span of 9 meters and 17 meters are all logs, without any splicing, and the top floor does not even have an intermediate support, which is rare in Shanghai.
Shanghai opera performance artist Ding Shi'e's mother was once a silk reeler of the "Lake Silk Stack", so she was taken to the "Lake Silk Stack" by her mother since she was a child, and she has a valuable memory of the "Lake Silk Stack".
So far, the "Lake Silk Stack" has a history of more than 140 years, although it has undergone several years of changes, but it has never undergone major reconstruction and repair, and the internal facilities are still perfect, which is rare.
Today, it has been reborn and transformed into a "creative industry park". From the three large calligraphy characters of "Lake Silk Stack" at the entrance of the Creative Park, you can vaguely feel the exquisite style of the water town.

Here, not only the historical changes of the Shanghai Toyota Boshoku Factory, the work and life of the predecessors of Toyota Boshoku who struggled here, but also a G-type automatic loom of the 1930s, which was the world's highest-performance fully automatic loom developed by Mr. Sakichi Toyoda in 1924, which not only became one of the pioneers of Japanese industrial modernization, but also gained a world-recognized reputation for Toyota Loom. A seemingly simple loom, full of the wisdom and belief of the inventor, condenses the spirit of "people-oriented, quality first" in the production process of products. On this loom, for example, true "self-decay" is achieved, with automated defect control, and the machine is able to automatically stop when an abnormality or quality defect is detected. This spirit of "dedication to research and creativity" has been passed down to this day at various companies, including Toyota Boshoku.
