No. 1 Shijia Hutong Former Residence of Zang Kejia
When it comes to Chinese poetry, many people will think of Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty. As one of the most well-known poets in China, almost every Chinese is familiar with his ancient poems, and the state has even compiled his ancient poems into textbooks. In modern times, the poems of a poet have also been selected into textbooks and have become unforgettable memories of generations of Chinese. He is the author of "Some People", the famous Chinese modern poet Zang Kejia.
Zang Kejia was born in 1905 in Zhucheng, Shandong. Influenced by his family from an early age, he liked classical poetry and folk songs, and witnessed the miserable life of a peasant, which aroused his deep sympathy, which laid the foundation for his later poetic style. In 1932, he began to publish new poems and became famous for an article called "The Old Horse". With the wide circulation of poems such as "Old Horse", Zang Kejia was known as a "peasant poet" and was well known and loved by the majority of readers.
Zang Kejia was studying at Qingdao University from 1930 to 1934, mr. Wen Yiduo was tall, often going in and out of Wen Yiduo's office and home, asking teachers for advice; Wen Yiduo also appreciated Zang Kejia, and wrote to Zang Kejia after returning to Tsinghua in 1932 to teach: "If you know yourself, you can have no regrets, it is enough to get you alone in Qingdao." "It can be seen that we know each other deeply.
During this period, there was also an interesting story that happened to them before. In 1930, Zang Kejia took the college entrance examination of National Qingdao University, and he applied for the Department of Foreign Languages of National Qingdao University.
However, in this college entrance examination, his college entrance examination mathematics was handed over in a white paper, and the composition was only written in 28 words: "Life always chases the illusion, but whoever regards the illusion as the illusion, who sinks into the bottomless sea of suffering!" At that time, it was Wen Yiduo, who was responsible for approving Zang Kejia's examination papers, who served as the dean of the College of Literature and the head of the Chinese Department. He was keenly aware of Zang Kejia's talent in literature, so he decided to admit this candidate who had turned in a white paper in mathematics, and later transferred him to the College of Literature of National Qingdao University.
Since then, under the guidance of Wen Yiduo, the Zang Ke family has begun his own poetry journey. After the death of Mr. Wen Yiduo, Zang Kejia wrote "My Husband Wen Yiduo" in August 1946 to pay tribute.
During his time in Beijing, Zang Kejia lived in No. 1 Shijia Hutong, and continued to write in a small house, where the twelve-volume "The Complete Works of Zang Kejia", which condensed his life's sweat and painstaking efforts, was born and published in December 2002.
Hu Sheng, deputy editor-in-chief of Red Flag Magazine
Friends who are familiar with the history of the Party must know that on July 1, 1988, Qiushi magazine was launched. The predecessor of "Qiushi" is "Red Flag". From 1955 to 1966, Hu Sheng was the deputy editor-in-chief of Hongqi magazine, and the lyrics of Hongqi were written by Hu Sheng. Hu Sheng, who lived at No. 2 Shijia Hutong when he was the deputy editor-in-chief of Hongqi Magazine, can be said to be a "half neighbor" of the poet Zang Ke's family.
In the first few years of the red flag, the names of several authors often appeared, which attracted attention. One is Yu Zhaoli, who wrote international reviews, the other is Shi Dongxiang, who wrote ideological and cultural reviews, and the third is Xu Xinxue, who wrote economic reviews. Later, people slowly learned that this was originally three collective pen names. Among them, "Shi Dongxiang" is the pen name of the writing group headed by Deputy Editor-in-Chief Hu Sheng, and joined by Comrades Wang Renzhi, Ding Weizhi, zheng Hui, and other comrades of the Central Political Research Office. "Shi Dongxiang" is taken from the harmonic sound of the internal journal "Ideological Dynamics". With profound knowledge, a high degree of theoretical accomplishment, and literary writing skills, they have written very influential and popular ideological and cultural commentaries.

Beijing People's Art Theater is a well-known professional drama theater with unique performance style, and is a temple for Chinese folk culture and art. When it was founded in the early 1950s, it was a comprehensive art group for opera, drama and dance. On June 12, 1952, its repertory theater merged with the Repertory Theatre of the Central Academy of Drama to form the Beijing People's Art Theatre. That night, a construction meeting was held in the courtyard of No. 56 Shijia Hutong in Dongcheng District, which is now No. 20 Shijia Hutong. On behalf of the municipal government, Wu Han, vice mayor of Beijing Municipality, announced the establishment of the Beijing People's Art Theater, and announced that Cao Yu was the president of the Beijing People's Art Theater, Jiao Juyin and Ouyang Shanzun were the vice presidents, Zhao Qiyang was the secretary general, and Jiao Juyin was the general director.

Today's Beijing Renyi is already the ceiling of Chinese drama and the "national treasure" of Chinese drama. Shijia Hutong 20 (formerly No. 56) has long ceased to be a dormitory for Beijing Renyi, and the performance venues have been expanded to 5: Capital Theater, Experimental Theater, Juyin Theater, Cao Yu Theater and Renyi Theater. The line-up is also expanding. However, at the same time of development, Beijing Renyi has also cultivated a large number of literary and artistic talents for China, including the well-known Song Dandan, Feng Yuanzheng, Pu Cunxin, Lantianye, etc., and Lantianye is the recipient of the "July 1st Medal". While Beijing Renyi is moving forward, No. 56 Shijia Hutong has also been well preserved, and it will serve as a witness to Beijing Renyi and witness the next glory of Beijing Renyi.
Luo Gongliu is a yuan designer
Each country has its own currency, they have the same function, but the design is different, each country wants to reflect the national characteristics in its own country's currency, so the design of the currency is particularly important. Luo Gongliu, one of the designers of the second, third and fourth sets of renminbi, is also a famous oil painter, printmaker and art educator in modern China.
Luo Gongliu lived in Guangdong in his early years, and after the liberation of 1949, he came to Beijing with the North China United Congress and participated in the creation of the Central Academy of Fine Arts. On May 28, 1962, Luo Gongliu and his wife moved to No. 31 Shijia Hutong. From 1950 to 1985, Luo Gongliu served as the leader of the RMB design team, organized and personally participated in the design of the second, third and fourth sets of RMB, and made great contributions to the country. It can be said that No. 31 Shijia Hutong witnessed the birth of China's third and fourth sets of renminbi.
The design of the second to fourth sets of renminbi was very successful, and it was well received not only in China, but also internationally. In the book International Coinmaker, edited by The International CoinMaker, chief of the Central Bank of Austria, only China's renminbi (second, third and fourth sets) in Asia was selected for introduction and research.

The more well-known ones are "Tunnel Warfare", "Chairman Mao in Jinggangshan", "Forward and Successor", "Rectification Report", etc., the most famous of which is "Tunnel Warfare". Combining the characteristics of Western oil painting "seeking charm in realism" and "seeking charm in freehand" with traditional Chinese ink painting, "Tunnel Warfare" has created an oil painting art language with the characteristics of the times and personal colors, and was listed as one of the 100 most representative art classics in June 2021.
During the creation of "Tunnel Warfare", in order to better complete the work, Luo Gongliu specially ran to Hebei Nianzhuang, the most famous for carrying out tunnel warfare, with his creative sketches.
