Bronze statue of Liu Shaoqi
Memorial patio
Liu Shaoqi's Kaifeng Memorial Hall (where Liu Shaoqi died) is a three-story brick and wood imitation European-style building. Founded in 1928, it was initially the silver number of "Tongheyu", later changed to the Henan Provincial Agricultural and Industrial Bank, the Municipal Office during the Japanese and Pseudo Period, and the No. 1 Building of the Municipal Government after liberation. The whole building is majestic, magnificent and luxurious, and is a rare Republic of China building in the Central Plains.
Liu Shaoqi died
On October 17, 1969, Comrade Liu Shaoqi, who was seriously ill, was secretly sent to the place for "guardianship", and died here on November 12, 1969. In August 1993, the Kaifeng Municipal Party Committee decided to set the place where Chairman Liu Shaoqi passed away as Liu Shaoqi's exhibition hall in Kaifeng, and on November 12, 1994, when commemorating the 25th anniversary of the death of Comrade Liu Shaoqi, Liu Shaoqi was officially opened in kaifeng, and the memorial hall not only introduced the life and deeds of Chairman Liu Shaoqi with text and pictures, but also displayed the medical records of Chairman Liu Shaoqi before his death, nasal esophagus, cremation introduction letter, cremation registration card, urn, ashes storage certificate, hospital bed, futon, pillow, oxygen bottle, suction device, infusion tube frame, Medicine cabinet medicines, urinals, etc. After the visit, I was overwhelmed with sighs and my mood was somewhat depressed. The mistakes of the times have created many unjust cases. Reflect on the past, work the present, and the country will get better and better.
Liu Qingxia Memorial Hall
Across the road from the Liu Shaoqi Memorial Hall, there is a three-way courtyard courtyard that is the former residence of Ms. Liu Qingxia, a modern educator, social activist, member of the League, and a volunteer of the Xinhai Revolution.
Liu Qingxia's original surname was Ma, and after marrying Liu Yaode, a tycoon in Weishi County, she changed her surname to Liu with her husband's family. With the same name as Qiu Jin, it was called "South Qiu Jin, North Qingxia." ”
Liu Qingxia once sponsored Henan students to start Henan magazine in Tokyo, and also founded the monthly magazine "China New Women's Circle" in Tokyo with friends to publicize women's emancipation of the mind. In addition, the first girls' school in Henan" was founded in Weishi County, "Huaying Girls' School". At the same time, factories have been opened to provide relief to orphans and the poor. After a long period of running for society and revolution, he became ill with overwork and died in Anyang in 1922. Finally, he donated most of his family's money for school education in Henan. It was a very respectable lady.
Catholic Henan General Seminary
The Department of The Catholic General Seminary in Henan was established in 1930 with a grant from the Ministry of Communication of the Holy See. It is a high-level religious college that trains Chinese clergy. Founded in 1930, it ceased operation in 1958 and lasted for 28 years. There are two levels of philosophy classes and theology classes, and the duration of study is generally six years. Admitted major seminarians are required to pass the graduation examination of the preparatory seminary and be escorted by the bishop of the diocese before they can be admitted to the hospital for further study. After graduation, he can be promoted to priest on the recommendation of the Dean and approved by the bishop of the diocese. The students studying in the institute are generally over 20 years old, from the Catholic dioceses of Henan, and the maximum number of students is more than 100. When I arrived, I found that it seemed to have been abandoned for a long time, the yard was overgrown with weeds, and the windows were hollow and a bit gloomy. Now it is surrounded by a tin wall and said that it is to be repaired, and I hope that it can be opened to visit as soon as possible.
Former site of Henan Museum
The former site of the Henan Museum was originally the former site of the Henan Law and Politics School and the Governor of the River. There are existing front yard halls, backyard exhibition halls, office rooms, etc. In 1927, the Henan Museum was founded here. In 1928 it was renamed the "Ethnographic Museum". In 1930, it was renamed "Henan Museum". During the Japanese and pseudo-Japanese periods, it was renamed "Henan Provincial Museum". In 1940, it was renamed "Henan Provincial Museum". In 1961, the Henan Provincial Museum moved to Zhengzhou. In the same year, the Kaifeng City Museum was established here. In 1987, the Kaifeng Museum moved to the shore of Baogong Lake. Since then, it has ended its mission as a museum. Now used for the Yu Theater in Kaifeng City, it looks like it should be the dormitory of the Yu Theater, full of life atmosphere.

Zhang Xiaozi Boying, trumpet Youshi; a native of Xin'an Tiemen Town, Luoyang. The former residence of Zhang Xiao in Tiemen Town still exists, and the locals call it "Zhang Mansion." "I am not familiar with Zhang Xiao's life, and my understanding of him is also obtained from the Internet, so I will not say more here."
Shanyitang Mosque
Shanyitang Mosque is located at No. 26, Sanmin Hutong, Gulou District, next to Gulou Square. According to existing inscriptions, it was built in the 13th year of Qing Tongzhi (1874) and completed in the 13th year of Guangxu (1887), which lasted 13 years. In the 14th year of Guangxu, there was a private school in the temple, and he began to teach the Four Books and Five Classics. It was later converted to Minsheng Primary School until 1949.
My unfamiliarity with Islam has always kept me away from it. In Kaifeng, I also broke through my strangeness and fear of the mosque, and I had the privilege of hearing the imam chanting the scriptures in the Shanyitang Mosque, and although I could not understand their language, I still felt solemn and sacred.
Zhenhe Iron Rhinoceros
I have seen two iron rhinos in the Garden Mouth of Zhengzhou and Yu Qianci temple in Hangzhou, and later learned that these are all cottages, the original iron rhinoceros is in the iron cow village of Kaifeng, I set off from the gate of Henan University, pedaled for more than half an hour to share the bicycle to the iron cow village, and finally saw the real face. The Iron Rhinoceros was built by Yu Qian in the eleventh year of the Ming Dynasty, and the "Iron Rhinoceros Inscription" was inscribed on the back of the Iron Rhinoceros, in order to calm the flooding of the Yellow River. The legend of Kaifeng's "City Stack City" is the truest portrayal of the flood. The iron rhinoceros is also ill-fated, twice buried under the sediment of the Yellow River, during the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Japanese army planned to melt the iron rhinoceros to make ammunition. Thanks to the hard struggle of the villagers of Iron Bull Village, they managed to regain the Iron Rhinoceros.
Xiang Rune Temple Dacheng Hall
Located in the Heyuan Community at No. 1 Hongxue Street, Gulou District, it is the Xiangfu County Xuewen Temple, where Kangxi moved in the sixth year. At present, only the Dacheng Hall remains, which is a hanging hilltop, covered with green glazed tiles, with a width of 5 rooms and a depth of 3 rooms, with an area of more than 300 square meters. The front eaves out of the building, the front wall wooden windows, ceiling is a primitive component, composed of square wooden lattice, the temple is magnificent. Unfortunately, the gate is locked and it is impossible to enter the museum.
Kaifeng Catholic Church
Kaifeng Catholic Church is located at No. 41, Council Hall Street, Shunhe Hui Nationality District, Kaifeng City, is the archdiocese of Henan Archdiocese Cathedral, and is also one of the famous Catholic churches in China. Covers an area of about 10 acres. It was built in 1917 under the auspices of the Italian missionary Bishop Tan Weixin, which lasted three years and was completed in 1920. It has a history of nearly 100 years and is one of the best preserved ancient European-style buildings in Kaifeng. Unfortunately, it was late when I arrived here, and I could only take a quick glance outside the wall with regret.

The food and beauty are just as good as the scenery, and this time I tried some of the local representative foods in Kaifeng
Sauté cold powder
Bucket chicken, lamb kang buns
Camellia oleifera
The first floor is filled with soup buns
Sheep double intestines
Almond tea
Go to the first floor to plan to eat "carp baked noodles" with mobile phone ordering accidentally chose "sweet and sour carp", and then forced the waiter to add a noodle on it, as "carp baked noodles", but this sweet and sour carp taste is also very good. Is this self-deception? [Cover your face]
Sweet and sour carp + baked noodles
Summarizing this trip to Kaifeng, I was generally satisfied. Unfortunately, there is no time to visit the "Xinglongzhuang Railway Station", and because of the epidemic, it is impossible to visit the "Former Site of Henan Preparatory School for Studying in Europe and the United States" in the Minglun Campus of Henan University. ”
