A native of zuobuguan village, Nanlang, Xiangshan (now Zhongshan), Guangdong Province, was born in Shanghai on April 26, 1910.

The house was demolished during the Japanese invasion of Zhongshan,

Later, uncle Ruan Lingyu bought back the foundation of the house. Now, Ruan's house, Ruan Bingquan, bought it back and turned it into a garden with an area of about 60 square meters. There is still an ancient well. It belongs to the former residence site of celebrities. In November 2004, it was determined as an immovable cultural relic by the Municipal People's government.
