National Fudan University Chongqing Old Site (Fudan University Memorial Hall)

The old site architecture includes a one-story building with a basement and two side houses. The area is about 605 square meters, with the building standing at 12 meters and the side houses at 6 meters. The exhibition is divided into two parts: The first part is the Denghui Hall. Denghui Hall is the first small auditorium built after Fudan University’s westward relocation. It was a symbolic building of Fudan at that time, named after the former president of Fudan University, Li Denghui. The building is of brick and wood structure, with one story and a basement, the central part being the building, and two side houses, covering an area of 605 square meters, and the building is well preserved. In front of Denghui Hall, a monument titled ‘Fudan University Site During the Anti-Japanese War’ was established in April 1987, with the inscription by Zhou Gucheng and the back inscription handwritten by the president of Fudan University, Xie Xide.

The second part is the Han Bing Tomb, located on the right rear side of Denghui Hall. Professor Sun Hanbing, who served as the Dean of Academic Affairs and Dean of the Law School at Fudan University, unfortunately died in a Japanese air raid on Beibei on May 27, 1940, at the age of 37. On December 11, 1987, the Beibei District Government relocated Professor Han Bing’s tomb from the back mountain of Xiaba to this location. The hall displays 204 valuable historical photos, more than 30 pieces of cultural relics and documentary materials, and more than 30 pieces of cultural relic substitutes. Although the old photos are yellowed, the vibrant and spirited figures in the photos concentrate on showcasing the Fudan teachers and students who held high the banner of the Anti-Japanese War, unity, and progress, carried out the movement of national salvation against Japan, and became the glorious history of the cultural and democratic fortress in the rear during the Anti-Japanese War period. It is open all year round, Tuesday to Sunday, from 9:00 to 16:30.
