Shanghai has another red venue and patriotic education base.

Not long ago, the "Comrade Yao Nai Memorial Hall" located in the west side of Taoyuan Village, Bao Town, Chongming District, Shanghai, held an unveiling ceremony and was opened to the public free of charge.

This is an exquisite style of Jiangnan rural brick and tile structure residential, sitting north facing south, consisting of four-bay main room, east and west two-compartment rooms and patios composed of quadrangle courtyard, construction area of 232.4 square meters, a total of four exhibition halls.

Among them, the indoor exhibition area takes the life experience of Comrade Yao Nai (1916-2001) as the theme, showing all kinds of cultural relics and red historical materials that he devoted himself to the revolution during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the War of Liberation and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.

According to Yao Ning, the son of Yao Nai, once in the Battle of Xiejiadu, Yao Nai's head was grazed by Japanese bullets along the skull, tearing off a piece of flesh, if the bullet's trajectory was shifted downward by one millimeter, I am afraid he would have died honorably.

Another time, Yao Nai did not ride his own war horse and went to the troops to talk with his comrades. As a result, his war horse was killed by a US aircraft, and the news reached the rear, and people thought that Yao Nai had died on the battlefield. This conversation allowed Yao Nai to escape the bombing of the US army and be safe and sound.

Yao Nai participated in the Battle of Xie Jiadu (the battle of the Japanese Kou Baotian Brigade), the Battle of Cheqiao (the battle of the opening of the central China counteroffensive), the Battle of Gaoyou (the final battle against the Japanese Kou), the Seven Victories of the Seven Battles of Suzhong, the Battle of Lianshui Yancheng, the Battle of Laiwu (annihilated 50,000 enemies), the Battle of Menglianggu (the 74th Division of the Kuomintang "Ace Division" was directly blocked), the Battle of Yudong (annihilated the enemy 95,000), the Battle of Huaihai (the first phase of the Battle of Nianzhuang annihilated Huang Baitao), the Battle of Crossing the River, and the Korean War (entering the 20th Army garrison and serving as the leader of the Panmunjom Negotiation observation team) He retired from his post as deputy military officer (major general) in 1982 and died in Nanjing on September 20, 2001 at the age of 85 due to ineffective medical treatment.
