Similarly, tan pingshan's former residence in Foshan's Gaoming district welcomed a wave of tourists during the National Day. On the banks of the Cangjiang River in Qishe Village, MingCheng Town, Gaoming District, Foshan City, across a cement bridge on a lotus pond, a hut with a hard hilltop, green brick walls and gray sand walls is presented in front of you, which is tan Pingshan's former residence. Rustling leaves and green bricks make this typical Qing Dynasty Lingnan residential building appear charming. And from this hut came the legendary figure in the history of the Chinese revolution, Tan Pingshan, which made this hut a red resort for future generations.
Walking into the former residence, you will find that there is a section of mud wall, which tells the clean family style of Tan Pingshan. Liao Zhiming, president of the Tanpingshan Research Association in Gaoming District and director of the Mingcheng Cultural Station, told reporters that around the 1960s, the Cangjiang River suddenly flooded, and tan Pingshan's former residence on the banks of the Cangjiang River was unfortunately washed away by the flood, leaving only the wall foundation. At that time, Tan Pingshan's family was financially strapped and unable to repair it as it was, so they could only use mud and rubble to simply stack the wall. Due to the disrepair of Tan Pingshan's former residence, in 2018, Gaoming District launched the renovation project of Tan Pingshan's former residence, and the government department repaired Tan Pingshan's former residence in accordance with the principle of "repairing the old as before". In order to preserve the memory and remember the history, this mud wall was preserved during the restoration process. In May 2019, Tan Pingshan's former residence was announced as the ninth batch of provincial-level cultural relics protection units.
Liao Zhiming told reporters that Tan Pingshan's former residence was built in the Qing Dynasty, covering an area of more than 160 square meters, and the former residence originally had three bungalows, leaving only more than 30 square meters of simple old houses in previous years. The building materials of the house are mainly made of gray sand, not like the green bricks used by large households. From this, it can be seen that Tan Pingshan's family in his adolescence was not rich, and it was also spent in his former residence that Tan Pingshan's extensive contact with the life of the bottom of society, which had a profound impact on his later embarkation on the revolutionary road.
