(Zhuzhou Evening News reporter /Wang Hui) The movie "Changjin Lake" was a hit, and the commander of the campaign, Zhuzhou Liling, the founding general of the country, General Song Shilun, once again became a hot spot. A few days ago, some readers called the news hotline of this newspaper 28829110 and asked where the former residence of Admiral Song Shilun was, hoping to visit it. The reporter did an investigation into this.

General Song Shilun was born in 1907 in Huangcun, Liling Beixiang Township, Hunan (now Fenglin Town Shilun Village). In 1926, he joined the Fifth Phase of the Whampoa Military Academy. In his revolutionary career, General Song Shilun successively participated in the anti-"encirclement and suppression" campaigns in the Central Soviet Region, the Long March, the Eastern Expedition, the Western Expedition, the Battle of Menglianggu, the Battle of Jinan, the Battle of Huaihai, the Battle of Crossing the River, and the Battle of Shanghai, with outstanding achievements.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he successively served as commander and political commissar of the 9th Corps of the Chinese Volunteer Army, deputy commander of the Volunteer Army and commander and political commissar of the 9th Corps. During the Battle of Chosin Lake, General Song Shilun led the Ninth Corps of the Volunteer Army to a fierce battle with the United Nations Army led by the American Army. It was this arduous battle that reversed the trend of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea and drove the United Nations army back to the south of the 38th parallel. He was awarded the rank of general in 1955 and ranked 38th out of 55 generals. He died in Shanghai on September 17, 1991 at the age of 84.
According to Zhong Jiandong, secretary of the party branch of Shilun Village, the hometown of General Song Shilun, the former residence of General Song Shilun no longer exists, and to restore its original appearance, it must be rebuilt on the old site.
According to Mr. Mu Junjie, the last secretary of General Song Shilun before his death, General Song Shilun had three daughters, the eldest daughter has passed away, and the second daughter is now in Beijing, engaged in the promotion of red tourism, which is very influential in the industry. The third daughter works at the Academy of Military Sciences. In the past two years, two daughters of General Song have also come to Liling. Liling City intends to rebuild the former residence and memorial garden of General Song Shilun and develop this place into a red tourist attraction.
Zhong Jiandong said that the village is very supportive of the project, but the village's economic strength is limited, and it needs the support of the higher-level government to rebuild the former residence of General Song Shilun and create a red scenic spot.
The reporter then contacted the Publicity Department of the Liling Municipal Party Committee, and the staff said that they would further consult with the relevant personnel of the Liling Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism to continue to promote the landing of the project.
It is reported that there are 3 founding generals in our city, namely Song Shilun, Yang Dezhi (now part of The Chukou District) and General Chen Mingren, whose former residences are valuable red tourism resources. This newspaper will continue to pay attention to the progress of this matter, hoping to take advantage of the precious opportunity of the construction of the Xianggan Border Regional Cooperation Demonstration Zone to become a national strategy, take advantage of the east wind of the development of red tourism, and also take the opportunity of the hot screening of "Chosin Lake" to build this extremely valuable red tourist attraction at an early date.
