Former Residence of Ba Jin, Literary museum in Xuhui District, Shanghai, China.

Located at 113 Wukang Road, the Spanish-style residence features multiple rooms displaying personal belongings, manuscripts, and photographs from Ba Jin's life.

The house, built in 1923, became the residence of Chinese writer Ba Jin from 1955 until 2005, and opened as a museum in December 2011.

The museum exhibits Ba Jin's literary works, which addressed themes of family, freedom, and social justice during China's transformative 20th century period.

The museum maintains regular visiting hours, with guided tours available to explore the writer's personal spaces, study room, and collection of historical artifacts.

During his final years in this residence, Ba Jin maintained his wife's urn by his bedside and shared his bedroom with his granddaughter Duan Duan.
