More than half of the summer vacation has passed, and the long-planned vacation trip for a family of four finally took place. This time we chose Tangshan as the destination. Most people are familiar with Tangshan because of the earthquake more than 40 years ago. Later, through the perseverance and innovation of Tangshan people, Tangshan quickly developed into a modern Phoenix city reborn from the ashes.

At six o'clock in the morning, we drove from Shijiazhuang. There are three self-driving routes from Shijiazhuang to Tangshan, all of which are about 450 kilometers away. According to the shortest route we checked in advance, we chose to take the Beijing-Hong Kong-Macau Expressway, turn around the Capital Expressway and then transfer to Beijing. Arrive at Tangshan Exit of Harbin Expressway.

1. Peiren Education Memory Hall

At the first stop in Tangshan, we came to the Peiren Education Memory Hall located in Peirenli, Tabei District, which was the private Peiren Girls Middle School before liberation. The purpose is self-evident, which is to let children feel a good educational atmosphere.

Above the gate of the exhibition hall, there are four big characters of "Learn to be high and be upright", which comes from Mr. Tao Xingzhi's famous saying "Learn to be a teacher, and be a model". The implication is that a person with profound knowledge becomes a teacher, and a person with good behavior becomes a model.

It turns out that the building of Peiren Girls Middle School is divided into upper and lower floors, adopting an eclectic architectural style, which is a typical representative of modern educational buildings in Tangshan. Later, under the premise of not damaging the main body of the historical building, the whole building was repaired and restored in accordance with the relevant regulations on the protection of cultural relics. That's how it looks now.

Xue Fuyuan, the first principal of Peiren Girls' Middle School. At that time, Peiren Girls' High School was unique, and being able to study in such a school was also a manifestation of identity.

In the Peiren Educational Memory Hall, we travel through a hundred years to understand the past and present of the development of Peiren Girls' Middle School, and feel the rich history and culture of Tangshan and the strong educational atmosphere. The children seem to have returned to that era in their personal experience.
