Comrade Mao Zedong's former residence

In May 1928, Zhu De and Chen Yi led part of the Nanjing uprising troops and met Mao Zedong at Jinggangshan. Mao Zedong, Zhu De, and other comrades deployed multiple battles here, crushing several military "expeditions" by the enemy forces from Hunan and Jiangxi. Mao Zedong's former residence is located in the center of Dajing Village, known as the "White House" due to its white walls. The house has a total of 44 rooms and five courtyards. When Mao Zedong led the Red Army of workers and peasants to Dajing for the first time, he stayed here, making it his residence in Dajing. At that time, five peasant households and Wang Zhuo's local armed forces also lived here. At the end of January 1929, the house was burned down by the enemy, leaving only a remaining wall, two trees behind the house, and a large stone on the lawn in front of the house. In 1960, the local government restored the house to its original appearance, embedding the remaining wall into the new wall as a memorial. The large stone in front of the house is called the "Reading Stone" as Mao Zedong often sat on it to read books, newspapers, and review documents.
