Former Residence of Soong Ching Ling
The Former Residence of Soong Ching Ling, late Honorary Chairman of the
People's Republic of China, is situated at 46 North Rive Street in the Rear
Lake area of the West City District. The residence was once a garden of one of
the Qing Dynasty princes' mansions. The area along the banks of Rear Lake is
quiet and beautiful, with shady willow trees lining the streets. Water from
Rear Lake has been diverted through an underground channel into a stream that
winds its way through the garden.
This lovely Beijing garden is elegantly laid out with rockeries and ponds
set off by pines, cypresses and flowers. Winding corridors links traditional-
style halls and pavilions in the garden. The tasteful layout gives the garden
an atmosphere of elegant antiquity.
Originally, the grounds of the mansion contained numerous buildings: the
front hall, called Happiness on the Hao River Bridge, after a story from
Zhuang Zi; the Pavilion for Listening to the Orioles; and the eastern hall,
called the Hall for Gazing at Flowers. Linked to the South Building by a
winding corridor was the Waves of Kindness Pavilion. Exquisite large rockeries
were dotted with structures such as the Fan Pavilion and the Room for
Listening to the Rain. Ponds, fine rocks, shady trees, flowers and lawns all
added to the enchantment of the garden. But over the years the whole garden
fell into disrepair.
After the founding of New China in 1949, the Party and government made
plans to build a residence for Soong Ching Ling in Beijing, and decided to
renovate one of the princes' gardens for the purpose. New buildings wee
constructed to the west of the mansion's main hall to create a quiet secluded
courtyard as it stands today. Soong Ching Ling moved into the mansion in 1963
and worked, studied and lived here until she passed away on May 29, 1981.
A short way inside the main gate is a grape arbor, and by it in a
flowerbed stands a wooden tablet carved with a brief introduction to the
history of the mansion.
Walking northeast form the grape arbor, one comes to the exhibition halls.
The auxiliary exhibition hall served as a guest room where Soong Ching Ling
received guests from China.
The first exhibition hall is divided into eight sections, each
representing a period of Soong Ching Ling's life. The exhibits include large
numbers of photographs, documents and objects of interest depicting her
childhood and student days, her marriage to Sun Yat-sen, her participation in
political activities, he organization of the Association to Safeguard the
Rights of the Chinese People and her support of the advocates of resistance to
the Japanese invasion. Also on display is a copy of one of Soong Ching Ling's
most famous saying, taken from her essay"Sun Yat-sen and His Cooperation with
the Communist Party of China."
"Sun Yat-sen's 40 years of political struggle for the Chinese nation and
people reached their peak in the last years of his life. The high point of his
development came with his decision to cooperate with the Communist Party of
China and work for the Chinese revolution."
The second exhibition hall is divided into seven sections with the
following titles: Invitation to Come to the North; One of the Founders of New
China; Close Comrade-in-Arms of the Party, Beloved Leader of the People;
Pioneer in Safeguarding Peace-Envoy of the Chinese people; Study; Life and
Work; Great Communist Fight; and the Grief of a Nation, the Sorrow of the
World.
The third exhibition hall is the Children's Hall, reflecting Soong Ching
Ling's great affection and concern for the youth of China. She once said:
"Children are our future, our hope; they are our country's most valuable
asset." Included in the exhibition is a painting of a basket of longevity
peaches, presented to Soong Ching Ling by the affection which the children of
New China feel for her.
The fourth exhibition is a small two-story building. The ground floor
contains a small drawing room and a dining room, while Soong Ching Ling's
study, office and living quarters are on the second floor. The bedroom, study
and dining room are all arranged as they were when Soong Ching Ling lived
there. The layout is simple and tasteful. Formerly, Soong Ching Ling would
spend her time here playing the qin (Chinese zither), doing embroidery and
writing poems and prose.
