The old house of Wu Linghua in Shiyou is the former site of the General Political Department of the Shiyou Red Army. The building faces north and south, has a brick and wood structure, three openings and two entrances, and is overall in the shape of an "concave" character. It is symmetrically arranged along the central axis and is divided into a porch, left and right wing rooms, and a hall. The width is 13.85 meters, the depth is 9.6 meters, and the construction area is 133 square meters. A key cultural relic protection unit in Jiangxi Province.
On February 9, 1933, the First Red Army, under the command of Commander-in-Chief Zhu De and Political Commissar Zhou Enlai, began to advance towards the Nanfeng area and attack the Nanfeng county seat. However, they were unable to capture the county seat due to the overwhelming strength of the enemy. On February 22, the First Red Army learned that the First Column of the Central Army was preparing to reinforce Nanfeng from Yihuang and Le'an areas, and that the main force of the Second Column was concentrated in Nancheng, attempting to engage in a decisive battle with the Red Army in the Nanfeng area with the support of the Third Column. Zhou Enlai and Zhu De took into account that the Kuomintang army was densely populated and there was no guarantee of victory in attacking the reinforcements, and a decisive battle with them in the Nanfeng area would be even more disadvantageous, so they decided to withdraw the siege of Nanfeng County and lure the enemy deep into the Soviet area. During this period, the General Political Department of the Red Army was stationed here. There are still two Red Army slogans left in the old site, which read: "The Red Army is the workers and peasants' own army! The White Army is the warlords' army!" and "Eliminate all reactionary factions!" The signatures are: "General Political Department of the Red Army, General Political Department of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army."
