Communication impact

Boxian park is located at the south foot of Yuntai Mountain in the west of Zhenjiang city. In front of the park used to be the most prosperous old city of Zhenjiang City, and there are still a large number of modern buildings nearby, such as British Consulate, Jinshan Hotel, Jiangnan Hotel, Jiang Huairen clinic, Zhenjiang chamber of Commerce, Guangzhao office, hongwanzi Jiangsu Branch, British concession Bureau of industry and commerce, old post and telecommunications, Dingfu temple, Xinhua Daily, etc. Since the Opium War, there have been many patriotic movements of Zhenjiang people against imperialism and feudalism. Not far from the park is the famous xijindu ancient street at the northern foot of the east side of Yuntai. For nearly two thousand years from the period of the Three Kingdoms to the period of the Republic of China, Zhenjiang has always been the hub of traffic between the north and the south, with rich historical deposits and cultural relics. In 1924 (13 years of the Republic of China), Mr. Leng Yuqiu, a member of the old League, proposed to use Yuntai mountain to build a park to show the memory and commemoration of Zhao Sheng, the great martyr of the 1911 Revolution. This move has been warmly approved and responded by all sectors of the society. Therefore, Leng Yuqiu invited Zhang Peng, Lu Runzhou, Bao Yungong, Yao Fuyan and others to participate in the preparatory work. He also raised money from people and organizations in Zhenjiang and Shanghai. People in Shanghai's financial circles who have ties with Zhenjiang, such as Hu Bijiang, Ma Shizhong, Yan Huiyu, some alliance members, revolutionaries, Zhao Sheng's comrades in arms, and many officers of the National Revolutionary Army at that time, all donated. one
