Speaking of Osmanthus Lane, it is impossible not to mention the matter of cutting the osmanthus tree that happened in September 2020, the name of osmanthus lane is because there are many osmanthus trees on this street, osmanthus trees are good trees Oh, the legend of the moon palace is loaded with osmanthus trees, and the osmanthus flowers are fragrant in the golden autumn. In September last year, when the osmanthus flowers were fragrant, someone actually cut down the osmanthus trees in Osmanthus Lane.

Although this matter has now been resolved.

But I would say that power is not supervised and restrained. Such tragedies will happen later.

This matter was fined 500,000 yuan, several people's positions were removed, a little bonus was deducted, several warnings were given, and the unit was inspected. That's it.

I suddenly remembered that a few years ago, a college student dug a bird's nest and was sentenced to 10 years and 6 months in prison.

I didn't dare say more, for fear of having sensitive words.

Fear of being banned.

There are still many stories of Guihua Lane, and I still put the dragon gate array of Guihua Lane.

The name of Guihua Lane was only after the overthrow of the Qing Emperor, and the name of the street was Dangui Hutong when the Qing Emperor was still alive, and this street has been famous for osmanthus trees since ancient times (since the Qing Dynasty). So it's called Dangui Hutong.

Guihua Lane is an east-west street, starting from DongchengGenshang Street in the east and ending at the fork of Changshun Shangjie Street in the west, with a length of 350 meters and a width of 10 meters, asphalt pavement, flanked by a green belt dominated by osmanthus flowers.

The story of Osmanthus Lane in Chengdu

In 1926, Dong Zhujun rented a house in Guihua Lane and founded the "Flying Eagle Rickshaw Company", and received his parents from Shanghai to help run it.

Which is Dong Zhujun? Dong Zhujun is the wife of the summer time, which is the summer time?

Xia Shi is the hero of the Xinhai Revolution!

Xia Shi (1888 – October 6, 1950), a character Lianggong, crossed to Japan in 1904 and was admitted to the Dongbin Military Academy, specializing in military affairs.

In August 1905, he joined the Chinese League founded by Dr. Sun Yat-sen in Japan. After completing his studies, he returned to China and was ordered to return to Sichuan in 1908 to instigate the revolution.

In November 1911, Xia Shi personally led and won the victory of the Longquanyi Uprising in Chengdu, and then marched east to Chongqing to meet Zhang Peijue and others to establish a Shu military government, contributing to the victory of the Xinhai Revolution.

After the Xinhai Revolution, Xia Shi served as the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expeditionary Army in Sichuan, participated in the anti-Yuan, protectorial and law protection movements, actively followed Dr. Sun Yat-sen to participate in revolutionary work, and was an influential progressive figure in Sichuan's modern and modern history.

In 1950, Xia Shi was mistakenly executed and killed in Chengguan Town, Hejiang County, on the charge of "organizing and planning a bandit riot", at the age of 63. (According to Baidu)

We commemorate the Xinhai Revolution every year, but I don't know why, in 1950, we actually shot this hero of the Xinhai Revolution in xia. In the 50s, I didn't know that many people had died unjustly.

In November 1987, the Hejiang County People's Court in Sichuan Province was instructed by its superiors to conduct a serious review of Xia Shishi's case, found Xia Shi innocent, and then signed a judgment to rehabilitate Zhaoxue and announce the restoration of his honor as a Revolutionary in Xinhai.

On April 21, 2010, with the consent of the United Front Work Department of the Sichuan Provincial Party Committee, the tomb of Xia Shi was moved from Hejiang County to the Mopanshan Cemetery in Chengdu

Dong Zhujun is also a well-known strong woman, she not only opened the "Flying Eagle Rickshaw Company" in Chengdu, she is also in Shanghai

The Jin Jiang Hotel, a world-famous hotel that can receive state guests, was opened today.

Dong Zhujun's parents get up early and go to bed late every day and never slack off. Dong Zhujun also got up to the company every day, put the bench in the doorway, stood on the bench and spoke loudly to the rickshaw driver, teaching them how to pay attention to not getting cold after sweating, avoid getting sick, treat customers with courtesy and enthusiasm, and keep the body clean...

At that time, the management of Dong Zhujun's company learned some experience from foreign countries, the company's car rental was low, the repair cost of the car, the uniform fee of the driver were paid by the company, the driver got sick and injured, and the company also paid for the medical expenses, sometimes the driver did not pay the taxi fare, and it could also be reduced or paid in installments. Therefore, the drivers are willing to pull the "flying eagle" car, and the company's business is very prosperous.

In December 1935, the famous writer Li Jieren moved from Binsheng Street to "Juyuan" at No. 64 Guihua Lane.

Speaking of Li Jieren, I think of the story of Li Jieren riding in a rickshaw, 49 years later, Li Jieren became the vice mayor of Xincheng, and his vice mayor was different from other cadres of other organs.

Another difference was his car, where other people's municipal cadres took a jeep, but he took a privately chartered car, and at that time the Chengdu Municipal Government was called the Chengdu Municipal People's Committee. The office is now the Sichuan Provincial Science and Technology Museum, which was called "Imperial City" at that time, and the city gate hole of the Imperial City is open to the south, there are three door openings, usually only the west side of the door hole is open, and the other two door openings are generally not open.

Although the People's Committee has the word people, ordinary people cannot enter it casually. There was an uncle of the People's Liberation Army guarding the door.

The original guards recognized Li Jieren, so they remained at peace. One day in 1953, because the troops changed their guards, the soldiers standing guard at the gate were replaced. This new soldier saw an old man in a robe and sitting in a private car and wanted to go in, so why didn't Li Jieren go to work here? This soldier did not allow Li Jieren to enter in a privately chartered car, and the person pulling the cart told him that it was Vice Mayor Li, and he did not listen. At this time, the squad leader of the soldiers came, and the squad leader was from Shanxi Province, and he did not recognize Li Jieren, or he was not allowed to enter in a private chartered car.

And then what?

Then there are two theories, one is that Li Jieren went back to his hometown and did not go to work.

Another theory is that Li Jieren still went in, but he did not go in by rickshaw, but walked in by himself.

I don't know which statement is correct. I did not find Li Jieren's diary, perhaps his diary contained an accurate answer to this matter.

Either way, the end result was that the soldier was locked up, the squad leader was removed, and the platoon leader was examined.

In the last century, Li Guyi's "Nostalgia" and Zhu Fengbo's "That's Me" were popular all the way to the north and south of the river. In the music industry, there is a saying of "South Zhubei Li".

When the singer Zhu Fengbo was red and purple, her father, Mr. Zhu Peishou, lived quietly at No. 42 Guihua Lane in Chengdu.

In the 1990s, half of the houses in Osmanthus Lane were converted into dormitory buildings, and only some bungalow courtyards remained on the north side. The Provincial Press and Publication Bureau, the Copyright Bureau, Suining, Guangyuan City Office in Chengdu, the Provincial Hydrological General Station, and the Democratic Parties such as the Civil Revolutionary Committee, the Democratic League, and the Democratic Construction Association are on this street.
