In my impression, Pingjiang Road is full of small bridges and flowing water, with white walls and tiles. In addition to these, the most eye-catching thing is the Hemingtang Kangzhai at the entrance of Zhuchang Lane. Several connected western-style blue brick houses are unique on Pingjiang Road. As long as you have been here, you can't ignore its existence! Although it is only one of many restaurants on Pingjiang Road, you know, it has a wide network of contacts!
One of the private houses of Shanghai tycoon Huang in Suzhou.
Hemingtang Kangzhai on Pingjiang Road is located at Zhuchang Lane 1, with an area of about 464m2 and a building area of about 456m2. It is said that it was built by the housekeeper Huang in the 1920s and 1930s, and it is one of Huang's many private houses in Suzhou.
Huang was developing real estate in Suzhou at that time. At present, hundreds of Shikumen Lane and bungalow buildings in Suzhou during the Republic of China are mostly owned by Huang, while Hemingtang Kangzhai is little known.
Born in Suzhou, a rogue tycoon who wandered in Shanghai.
Friends who are interested in the history of the Republic of China must be familiar with Huang. At the beginning of last century, the famous "rogue tycoon" was heard on the beach! With Du, and also known as the "three richest people in Shanghai", ranked first.
And his relationship with Suzhou is not just real estate. His father was the leader of Suzhou yamen in the late Qing Dynasty, 1868, and his ancestral home was Suzhou. Later, when he was on patrol in the Shanghai Concession, he began his career in Jianghu.
Because he has been involved in the underworld for many years, he has a white identity such as patrolling the French Concession, selling opium, and opening a casino. A few years later, he became the only inspector general of China in the French Concession police station. At most, his disciples reached 1000, and even Chiang Kai-shek once worshipped him as a teacher. His influence once penetrated into the top of China's political, military and financial circles.
Huang worked in the inspection department of the French Concession as the inspector general of China exploration for more than 20 years, during which he often returned to Suzhou. All the housekeepers and servants of his family were found in Suzhou. /kloc-started to build a private house, Hemingtang, in Suzhou in 0/928.
