Chunxi Road in Chengdu is a bustling business district. In the Qing dynasty, there was an abandoned courtier yamen, which covered a wide area. On the right, it is adjacent to Nanxin Street, and on the left, it goes to Chengshou Street and Hakka Lane, facing Zouma Street. 1924, Yang Sen was appointed as Sichuan overseer by Beiyang government and began to implement the New Deal, one of which was to build roads. Yang Sen decided to widen the East Street into a road, ordered the yamen to be completely dismantled, and all the shop residents sawed off the eaves and shrank into the facade. Chengdu citizens are conservative and refuse to accept new things. They urged Hugh, Fang Hezhai, Zeng Jian, Yin, Liu Yubo and others, who are very famous "five old men and seven wise men" in Chengdu, as representatives of public opinion, to state the pros and cons to Yang Sen in the supervision institute. Without fear, Yang Sen immediately reprimanded these old-fashioned people, making these self-reliant and respected old gentlemen feel ashamed and never show their faces again. This road is divided into four sections: east, south, west and north, and there is a street garden in the middle, which was a relatively novel layout at that time. After the road was completed, it was named after it by Mr. Jiang, a former Qing official in Shuangliu County. In Chunxi Road, the word "Chun" means Yang Sen, and the word "xi" means nourishing the sky.

Chengdu people are old-fashioned, opposed to road construction and new things, which can be reflected from a pun couplet written by Liu Shiliang, a bitter scholar in Chengdu at that time: "Ask the general when the house will be demolished early" ("roll" means roll with a road roller, and Yang Sen says "roll away"); "The road has been hammered flat, and the patrol opened it that day" ("car" means running away in Sichuan slang). Jenson's implementation of the New Deal was criticized by Chengdu conservatives. Now Chengdu people should thank Zhan Sen. Without Jenson's bold implementation of the New Deal and his rebuke of conservative forces, there might not be Chunxi Road Commercial Center that Chengdu people are proud of now.
