CultureUnited in Heart | How did a university in a Shanghai alley become a living memorial to the early United Front?

Shanghai University was once praised as a leading centre for scholarship and as the south’s counterpart to Peking University during the May Fourth era. Located in Qingyunli on Qingyun Road, Zhabei, it brought together progressive young people who took part in early United Front efforts, built ties with Whampoa Military Academy and helped drive the May Thirtieth Movement. A 1922 newspaper at its history museum illuminates this century-old chapter.
