Because I like French literature, I always have a yearning to pass by there, expecting to sign a contract here and lead to France one day. Previous stories are always romantic, just like I got a visa to study in France many years ago. Dad said that I used to study on a big ship. At that time, crossing the ocean for more than a month really felt like studying abroad. Now everything is modern and convenient, but there are fewer daydreams.
Far away, let's look at the official residence of the consulate. The information I can find about this house on the Internet is:
Huaihai Middle Road 143 1 was built in 192 1, with a construction area of 804 square meters. Italian style garden residence, originally a private residence in Basse, was later used by Spanish and Korean consulates in Shanghai, and now it is the French Consulate General in Shanghai.
Besides, there is only mystery.
It coincides with the "hackathon" competition held by Shanghai French Training Center, aiming to help French learning more effectively with high technology. The award ceremony of this event was held in the official residence of Shanghai Consulate, and the appointment was open to the public.
The green iron gate finally opened, so a European-style building with white walls and red tiles appeared in front of me in the autumn and warm sunset of 1 1 month. The building is two stories high and is divided into three blocks very evenly.
After entering the main entrance and the sign-in desk, there is the cloakroom and bathroom, and then there is the main hall. The floor is relatively high, and the interior decoration is all brown wooden boards, which is very elegant, and you can also see the old-fashioned heating films you have seen in France. In Shanghai, there used to be such heating. But these radiators are probably abandoned now, because there is an extra heater in the room. On one side of the main entrance is the rostrum, which is very sacred with the national flags of China and France as the background. There is also a retro piano in the room. Next to the piano is a small internal staircase that leads directly to the second floor. However, the second floor was closed today, so I only went to the first floor.
When the main hall goes forward, let's call it the "back hall". It feels like a living room. The lighting in this hall is very good, because there is no wall opposite, instead, it is bright French windows. Although the door is closed, you can still clearly see the green in front of you, that is the garden of the official residence.
Let's go back to the main hall, which extends in all directions. Both sides lead to two rooms. One side leads to the buffet area of the party, and there is even a bar in front. On the other hand, it leads to my favorite research.
In fact, the study is also a large living room. Different from other rooms, books and oil paintings can be seen everywhere, and the floor is carpeted. Although it is the official residence, it is also a very warm study. Let's look at the books here. Of course, they are all French books. They are all French classics. We also found the collection of the famous French Seven Star Library.
Sitting in the study, in addition to excitement, there is still some inexplicable tension, as if a dream of that year had come true, but the dream was so illusory. Huaihai Road, which is hidden by phoenix trees, is full of vicissitudes of official residence, and everything is sleeping in a glass of champagne.
It's a pity that I don't know much about architecture, so I can't introduce the official residence in detail. I hope the photos in the article can make up for everyone's imagination. )
