Qu Qiubai and Yang Zhihua used to live in Liangyi li of Daxi Road (now Yan'an west road). Because of the white terror, Qu Qiubai's safety could not be guaranteed, so they often took refuge in Mao Dun's and Lu Xun's home. In March 1933, Lu Xun sublet a pavilion to Qu Qiubai and his wife, a Japanese friend, Mrs. Nishiyama, at No. 12, Lane 133, jinshanyin Road (formerly dongzhaoli). Most of the tenants in this house were Japanese businessmen and ronin. They often went to Qu Qiubai's house, which affected Qu Qiubai's work. In order to thank the guests behind closed doors, Qu Qiubai had to lie in bed and read a book. His wife Yang Zhihua was cooking medicine on the stove at the door. The smell of smoke filled the room, so as to avoid the interference of the tenants. Qu Qiubai has only lived here for more than three months. Today, No. 12, Lane 133, Shanyin Road (formerly dongzhaoli) is designated as Qu Qiubai's former residence in Shanghai. The apartment is now a private residence. Qu Qiubai has only lived here for more than three months. On May 4, 1984, the Shanghai Municipal People's government announced the former site of Qu Qiubai's residence as a cultural relic protection unit in Shanghai.
