Liangsicheng former residence

The former residence of Liang Sicheng and Lin is located in No.24 Courtyard of Beizongbu Hutong, Dongcheng District, Beijing. From 193 1 to 1937, architects Liang Sicheng and Lin rented in No.3 courtyard of Beizongbu Hutong. This is the period when they made important contributions to the architectural history and cultural relics protection in China. Since July 2009, after more than two years of tug-of-war between "demolition" and "protection", Lin Liang's former residence has not escaped the fate of being bombed into ruins. According to the accident investigation of Dongcheng District Cultural Committee, the development unit is prone to danger because the house is old, repeatedly renovated and uninhabited, so it is "repaired and demolished".

Kong Fanzhi, director of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics, also said in an interview that the demolition was because the construction unit had carried out "off-shelf maintenance" in advance to prevent the house from being in danger during holidays, which was a kind of "preparation work" before maintenance.

Personality assessment

Fei Zhengqing, an American scholar, made the following comments on Liang Sicheng's work in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression: During the Second World War, we met again in western China, but both of them had become semi-disabled patients, but they were still desperate to devote themselves to their studies under extremely difficult conditions. At that time, Lin suffered from tuberculosis, and Liang Sicheng suffered a spinal injury due to the sequelae of a car accident when he was young. However, neither illness nor hard life hurt their enthusiasm for pioneering research work. Liang Sicheng wrote the Preface of Urban Planning Outline in English during the war. In our hearts, they are lofty models who are not afraid of difficulties and devote themselves to science.

Liang Sicheng's academic achievements are also valued by foreign academic circles. Joseph Needham, a British scholar who specializes in the history of Chinese science, said: Liang Sicheng is a "master of architectural history in China".
