Zhao Yidi’s Former Residence, commonly known as the ‘Miss Zhao Si Building,’ is an important part of the National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit, the Former Residence of Zhang Xueliang. From 1928 to 1931, General Zhang Xueliang and Ms. Zhao Yidi lived here and gave birth to their beloved son, Zhang Lulin.
After renovation, the ‘Miss Zhao Si Building’ is surrounded by newly reconstructed walls. Pushing open the iron gate, visitors are greeted by the fragrance of flowers throughout the courtyard. Potted plants are displayed along the inner walls. On the first floor, the reception room, ballroom, and dining room, and on the second floor, the meeting room, bedroom, piano room, living room, and bathroom are all elegantly decorated, making one feel as if Ms. Zhao Si’s presence and voice are still lingering.
The ceiling of the meeting room features a painting of ‘Auspicious Cranes in Flight,’ while the ballroom boasts brilliant golden painted ceilings, offering a feast for the eyes. The French-style furniture indoors is crafted as artistic masterpieces, with sofas, tables, chairs, and beds made of superior materials and exquisite workmanship, showcasing luxury and elegance. These details reflect Zhao Yidi’s pursuit of knowledge and romantic life aesthetics, truthfully recreating the scenes of her life with Zhang Xueliang and bearing witness to their touching love story.
