Wu Yinxian's former residence.

There is an alley called Xiang Hao in the inner street of Shucheng Town, Shuyang County. In the middle of Xiang Hao, there is an antique small courtyard facing west and east. The existing Westinghouse and North House in the courtyard are all buildings of Qing Dynasty, with four beams and eight columns and small tile houses. The courtyard is quaint, quiet and elegant. This is the house where China famous photographer Wu Yinxian and his father Wu Tieqiu lived. Wu Yinxian took part in the revolution in his early years and engaged in photography all his life. In 1930s, he took a large number of documentary photos of the activities of proletarian revolutionaries of the older generation such as Chairman Mao and Marshal Zhu De in Yan 'an. He also filmed Street Angels, Dr. Bethune, Yan 'an and the Eighth Route Army, and Brothers and Sisters Open up Land. And published 20 photography monographs, becoming a famous photographer. Wu Yinxian's ancestral home is southwest village of Fengxi, Shexian County, Anhui Province. After the Zhou Dynasty's Taibo (given the surname Wu), the three brothers moved to Shuyang in 1990 because of Hongwu's migration. Wu Yinxian's ancestors lived in Caodun Mountain (that is, Liu Ji) in Shuyang. The second house is a long-term worker, living in the south gate of Shuyang, Yuxi, Yanji (martyr Wu Lingsheng is a long-term worker). The third room, Gong Sheng, moved to Mengyin County.

1840 years later, Wu Yinxian's grandfather, Wu Bolin, moved to Shucheng from tanggou at the age of 19 and lived in the thatched cottage in Nanchenggen, the east gate of my uncle's house for 60 years. By about 1900, Wu Yinxian's father Wu Tieqiu rented another Li Qi Gan Xi Li Zhai in the west gate of Shucheng, and was born in Wu Yinxian in 1920. 1923, moved to Nanmen Zhangweizong's back house. 1924, Wu Tieqiu wrote a humorous Spring Festival couplets and posted them on the gate: from Taibai to Gongbai, and then from Xuanyimen. Later, he moved to Xiang Hao and Shucheng, leaving no buildings. Because Wu Tieqiu taught all his life and traveled from south to north, he did not have a long-term fixed home and changed places. In the 1920s and 1930s, Wu Yinxian's study, teaching and photography activities were mainly in Shuyang and Shanghai. During this period, he filmed Morning Market, He is My Brother, Former Site of Ada Courtyard and Wenfeng Small Wooden Bridge in Shuyang. In the middle and late 1930s, he lived in Shuyang with his father Wu Tieqiu for a period of time, then went from Shanghai to Wuhan, and then devoted himself to the revolutionary cause in Yan 'an, taking photos of Yan 'an Forum on Literature and Art and the Seventh National Congress of the Communist Party of China. Since then, he has never been back to his hometown.

In 2000, the All-China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the Ministry of Culture, CCTV and other departments jointly organized a series of activities to commemorate Wu Yinxian's birthday100th anniversary. The CCTV film crew made a special trip from Beijing to Shuyang, Shanghai, Yan 'an and other places to shoot the TV feature film "Life Behind the Camera" and information about his activities in various places. During my stay in Shuyang, I photographed Wu Yinxian's former residence in Xiang Hao and the present situation of some old places where Wu Yinxian worked and worked in Shucheng in his early years. The feature film of that year was broadcast by CCTV. 1963 In the spring, Wu Yinxian's father Wu Tieqiu died, and thousands of his private books were donated to Shuyang Cultural Center. The house was uninhabited and was taken over by the county real estate company.
