Former Residence of Poet Wen Yiduo

Wen Yiduo’s former residence “Yiduo Building” stands quietly right at the northwest corner of the campus. The walls are covered with vines. There is a flower bed in front of the building, and a half-length marble statue of Wen Yidu is erected in the middle. The inscription was written by his student Poet Zang Kejia. There are also two cedars on both sides of the flower bed. The first floor has been developed into the Exhibition Room of Wen Yi Duo's Former Residence. Rough granite walls, a red tile roof, window decoration strips with beautiful Western-style reliefs are all part of the intact layout since the old time. It is simple and elegant.
