Kangzhuang Railway Station used to be an important station on China's first self-built railway, the Beijing-Suizhou Railway (i.e. the extension of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway). At that time, the Beijing-Suizhou Railway was the first traffic artery connecting the mainland of the motherland and the northwest frontier. It was the pride of China's national industry and one of the areas where the Communist Party of China sowed the revolutionary fire and launched the labor movement earlier. Kangzhuang Station was built in 1908, and its site is located in Station Street, Kangzhuang Town, Yanqing District, Beijing. "Kangzhuang" means "overcoming the natural dangers of Juyong, and thus embarking on the road of Kangzhuang". As a century-old station, Kangzhuang Station has experienced ups and downs. Not only the old station building built in the Qing Dynasty has been preserved until today, but also some important auxiliary facilities of the station have been preserved. At the beginning of the movie "Sister Tao", the scene where the film producer played by Andy Lau takes the train was filmed at Kangzhuang Station. 14 stations were originally designed and built along the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, and Kangzhuang Station is the last station in Beijing. The station was completed in 1909. When it was first built, it was the same as Nankou Station and Qinglongqiao Station, with five horizontal rooms. At the beginning of the 20th century, Kangzhuang Station was expanded into the same seven horizontal station buildings as Xizhimen Station and Xuanhuafu Station. In 1922, Li Dazhao sent He Mengxiong to the Beijing-Suizhou Railway to carry out party work through contact with the upper-level figures. He Mengxiong, under the cover of being an investigator of the Ministry of Communications, recruited Zhou Zhensheng and Liu Shushen among the Kangzhuang railway workers to join the Communist Party of China. At the end of 1924, the Northern District Committee of the Communist Party of China was established, and sent people to the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway to lead the labor movement. Among the workers, Huang Zhenwu and Shen Decun were recruited into the party, and a party group was established, with Zhou Zhensheng as the group leader.

After more than 90 years of ups and downs, the old site of the party branch still remains, which has become a witness of the red history of the Yanqing area.
