Lao She Memorial Hall, Literary museum in Donghuamen Subdistrict, Beijing, China

The memorial hall contains three main rooms and two wing chambers, displaying personal belongings, manuscripts, and photographs from the renowned author's life.

The residence served as Lao She's home from 1950 to 1966, where he wrote numerous literary works before his death during the Cultural Revolution period.

The exhibitions feature over thirty international translations of his novel 'Camel Xiang Zi', demonstrating the worldwide influence of Chinese literature.

Located at Number 19 Fengfu Hutong, the museum opens daily from 9:00 AM to 2:30 PM, with an entrance fee of 20 Yuan.

Two persimmon trees planted by Lao She in 1954 still grow in the courtyard, leading his wife to name their home 'Red Persimmon Courtyard'.
