The former residence of Marshal Nie was built during the reign of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty according to the genealogy of Nie. It was originally the Jiuchongtang residence of a landlord in Wang Xing, but after the landlord of Wang Xing fell, it is said that the Jiuchongtang in the stone yard collapsed six times. Nie's ancestors bought this stone courtyard with only three halls at a discount. After several generations of reproduction, it has become a relatively wealthy family. When Nie Rongzhen was born, his family fortune declined, and the stone courtyard fell into disrepair.
In the showroom of his former residence, there are more than 40 articles of daily necessities, toys, school supplies and other cultural relics used by Nie Shuaiqing in his youth, and more than 0/00 precious pictures, which truly and vividly reproduce Nie Shuaiqing's life track and record his moving scenes of participating in patriotic student movements and brilliant achievements in various combat periods when he was young.
Since the opening of Marshal Nie's former residence, workers, PLA officers and soldiers, government officials, students, compatriots from Hong Kong and Macao, overseas Chinese and foreign friends have visited it. The former residence has become a base for educating the broad masses of soldiers and civilians on party history, military history, patriotism and revolutionary tradition, and plays a special educational role in the construction of socialist two civilizations.
The former residence of Marshal Nie Rongzhen is a quadrangle with blue tiles and earth walls, simple and solemn. The courtyard wall is surrounded by fertile soil and fertile fields, with lush bamboos on both sides, flowers in full bloom and trees in the courtyard; There is a pond in front of the house, sparkling, which constitutes a unique pastoral scenery in eastern Sichuan.
