During the failed Communist nationalist alliance of the mid-1920s, both Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai taught at the newly established Peasant Training Institute, housed in a former Confucian academy. The institute aimed to educate and thus liberate and empower the rural masses. Mao’s time here helped to formulate his views on Socialist revolution, based on rural rather than urban support.
Although the buildings remain attractive, there is little to see here, except for a few photos of Communist martyrs who were executed in the 1927 Shanghai massacre. However, the site still manages to draw scores of domestic tourists, principally for its connection with the late, Great Helmsman.
