The Former Residence Of General Luo Binghui

The Former Residence Of General Luo Binghui

 















Luo Binghui (1897-1946), former name Luo Defu, was born in a peasant family
 in Adushe Village of Jiaokui Town, Yiliang County (彝良). He once participated
 in the North Expedition War (1916-1928) against the Beiyang Government
 based in Beijing during the Republic of China (1911-1949), and took the
 posts such as the commander of the Second Company of the Sixth Corps
 of the Red Army, and deputy commander of the New Fourth Army and
Shandong Military Region before 1949.

His former residence, as a memorial, is 5 km from Yiliang county seat. 
In 1987, the State Council of the R.P.C. appropriated special fund to 
construct three wood-and-earth structure rooms for Mr. Luo's memorial.

Facing south, these 13-meter-long and 7-meter-wide rooms cover a total
area of some 120 square meters. In addition, a wider area of up to
 2,000 square meters has been further incorporated for the memorial 
including a stone tablet as the landmark.

So far, this site has been listed as a key historical and cultural relic of 
Yunnan Province.
