The Cultural Celebrities’ Street at Duolun Road




Duolun Road is the cultural celebrities’ street in Shanghai, where such Chinese literary giants as Lu Xun, Mao Dun, Guo Moruo and Ye Shengtao and such leftist writers as Ding Ling and Rou Shi once lived and wrote. On 2nd, March 1930, the Chinese Leftist Literary Association, a revolutionary literary organization under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, was founded here. Today, the Doulun Road after renovation has turned into a cultural street featuring old-style buildings, residences and memorial halls of cultural celebrities, and non-governmental collection galleries.
