Highlights of the Former Residence of Mao Dun
Front Section
Upon entering the front section, visitors are greeted by the sight of the main entrance facing Front Street, adorned with a plaque bearing the inscription “茅盾故居 (Former Residence of Mao Dun),” personally penned by the revered revolutionary figure, Chen Yun. Adjacent to the entrance lies the former private school where Mao Dun received his early education, its interior furnished with desks and chairs reminiscent of his scholarly endeavors. Two rooms to the west merge into a unified dining area, where the family gathered for meals. The easternmost room on the upper floor served as the bedroom for Mao Dun’s grandparents, while adjacent to it lay the quarters of his parents, where both Mao Dun and his younger brother, Shen Zemin, came into the world. A study desk beneath the window facing south, overlooking the street, marks the spot where Mao Dun spent his childhood immersed in the world of books and letters. To the west on the upper floor, two rooms housed the sleeping quarters of Mao Dun’s second and fourth great-uncles.
Second Section
Crossing a quaint courtyard leads to the second section, slightly shorter in length but exuding an air of elegance and refinement. Comprising two floors with four rooms in total, the western-facing rooms boast slightly higher ceilings and more elaborate window designs, hinting at a more affluent past. The ground floor consists of a living room to the west and a hallway to the east, with the kitchen and a guest hall located downstairs via the eastern staircase. Upstairs, bedrooms are arranged from west to east, serving as the sleeping quarters for Mao Dun’s great-grandparents and his aunt, who served as a maid, with a connecting corridor to the first section.
Rear Section
The rear section, consisting of three single-story buildings covering an area of 104.92 square meters, bears the personal touch of Mao Dun himself. Using the proceeds from his literary masterpiece “Midnight,” Mao Dun personally oversaw the transformation of this space into a study, infused with elements of Japanese architectural style. With glass windows lining both the northern and southern facades and Western-style doors and windows, this retreat became Mao Dun’s sanctuary for contemplation and creativity during his return visits to his hometown.
