Step into the Danshi Courtyard and explore the literary world of Lao She.

👣 When you enter the Lao She Memorial Hall in Beijing, it feels like you have traveled back in time to an era when literati and scholars gathered. This courtyard house at No. 19 Fengfu Hutong in Dongcheng District was where Lao She lived and worked for 16 years, and is affectionately known as the "Danshi Courtyard." 🍂 As soon as you enter the courtyard, you will see two persimmon trees full of fruit. The red persimmons hang like little lanterns on the branches, contrasting with the green leaves, creating a beautiful scene. When the breeze blows, the leaves rustle, as if Lao She is whispering and telling stories of the past. 🏡 The memorial hall is compactly laid out, and as soon as you enter, you will see a big red "Fu" character, which was written by Lao She's wife, Hu Jieqing, and is full of the warmth of home. In the courtyard stands a bronze statue of Lao She, which makes people stop and gaze at it, feeling the charm of this literary master. 📚 The exhibition room displays precious photos, books, and items used by Lao She during his lifetime, quietly telling the story of his life and creative journey. Each exhibit exudes a strong cultural atmosphere, making people intoxicated. I seem to hear the sound of Lao She typing on the keyboard in his study, feeling his passion and perseverance when creating. 📸 Whether it's a sweet photo under the persimmon tree or a "cross-time dialogue" with Lao She in the exhibition room, this is a great place to take photos. Use your camera to capture the tranquility and beauty of autumn and freeze this moment in your memory. 🚶‍♀️ When you leave the memorial hall, take a stroll in Fengfu Hutong and feel the charm of old Beijing. Every bluestone slab and wooden door in the hutong seems to tell the history and culture of this city. 💖 If you are also a literature lover or want to experience the charm of old Beijing, then the Lao She Memorial Hall in Beijing is definitely a place not to be missed. Come here to explore the literary world of Lao She and feel the unique cultural atmosphere!
