The Former Residence of Lei Feng or Lei Feng's Former Residence (simplified Chinese: 雷锋故居; traditional Chinese: 雷鋒故居; pinyin: Leí Fēng Gùjū) was the birthplace and childhood home of Lei Feng, a soldier of the Chinese army in Communist legend. The residence is located in Leifeng Subdistrict of Wangcheng District, in northwestern Changsha, South Central China's Hunan province.[2] It is currently an immensely popular tourist attraction in Hunan.[3][4]

History

The 12-room residence was built in the late Qing Dynasty during the Guangxu Era, and was formerly owned by a local landlord Tansi Gunzi (谭四滚子).

On December 18, 1940, Lei Feng was born in this residence. He lived there until November 1956, when he was transferred to Wangcheng County as a civil servant.

In 1958, the Residence was demolished because of significant disrepair. Lei's uncle, Lei Guangming (雷光明), then built a three-room house on its original site.

In the winter of 1966, the Hunan Provincial Government began to construct the Lei Feng Memorial near the residence. It was completed on November 20, 1968.

In 1993, the local government renovated the residence, and in the same year it was officially opened to the public. In January 2011, it was designated as a provincial-level key cultural heritage site.
