This afternoon, when I left the office and arrived at Laoshan Road in Pudong, it was about 5 o'clock. Because I was waiting for someone, I opened Weibo and found a private message from Liu Qingchuan, the grandson of Liu Quanfa. I was overjoyed. Finally contacted the descendants of another famous alumnus. Liu Qingchuan was also very happy when the phone called. It turned out that he learned about our trip to Qingdao from a reporter. On the phone, he also told me that Liu Quanfa's son Liu Hanyao, that is, his father was a graduate of Tongji University Kunming Branch, but unfortunately passed away on 1995. What an important clue this is. I quickly searched online and found that the following contents were specially reprinted by Xu. I hope relevant researchers and collectors can contact me.

Qingdao No.9 Middle School, located in Shanghai Road No.7 Middle School, is a key middle school in Shandong Province. When it comes to No.9 Middle School, Qingdao people are well-known. It can be said that it is a great honor for a child to be admitted to No.9 Middle School. When parents meet acquaintances at work and on the street and say that their children have been admitted to No.9 Middle School, people will definitely look at him with new eyes. The predecessor of Qingdao No.9 Middle School is Lixian Middle School, formerly known as Lixian Academy, which can be said to be the earliest school in Qingdao. This college was founded by Ernst Faber, a missionary of the German-Swiss Friendship Association, and later opened by the German missionary Wei Lixian, so it was named Lixian College.
Lixian College was founded on 1900. It was originally located at the intersection of Jiaozhou Road and Yizhou Road. At that time, because the school building was too small and crude, it was later moved to Bao Xiaoshan (now Shanghai Road No.7 Middle School) as a new school building. The yard of the new school building is spacious, which can accommodate more than 200 students, much better than the original site.
Wei Lixian, a German, came to China to preach in his early years. He was proficient in China culture and China writing, and was one of the first dispatchers of German colonialists invading China. Wei Lixian also set up a "Confucius Association". He often compares Confucius to Jesus, and vigorously preaches the way of Confucius and Mencius. He often visited the Confucius Temple and Confucius Tomb in Qufu, invited the adherents of the Qing Dynasty and the young people in Qingdao to host the "Confucius Culture" and made extensive friends with the upper class of China society at that time. 19 14 years, Wei Lixian built a library in "respecting Confucius Literature", which naturally became the first library in Qingdao, and later changed to Lu Xun Auditorium, which has been demolished. Wei Lixian not only respected Confucius, preached Confucius and Mencius, and respected Confucius culture, but also had close contacts with the monks and Taoists in Laoshan. The Taoist priest of Xia Qing Palace in Laoshan once presented him with an embroidered plaque for this purpose.
Here I want to talk about Liu Quanfa, a famous architect in Qingdao, and his relationship with Qingdao No.9 Middle School. 1904 was admitted to Qingdao Lixian College, 19 15 was admitted to Tongji University with excellent results. After graduating from Tongji University, 1923 was hired as the dean of Lixian College. He has worked in this position for 30 years and never paid a penny, which is really commendable. His livelihood mainly depends on architectural design to support his family. 19 14, despite the opposition of the people all over the world, Japanese militarism coveted the territory of China for a long time and forcibly sent troops to occupy Qingdao. Qingdao successively fell into the clutches of German, Japanese and American aggressors. At that time, Dehua University and other schools founded by Germans in Qingdao had been closed. Lixian College was sponsored by Tongshan Church in Switzerland, and it was able to continue running. It was renamed Lixian Middle School on 1934. 1923, when Liu Quanfa was the dean of Lixian College, Wei Lixian had returned to Germany. At that time, many Germans in Qingdao hoped that Lixian College would be transformed into a medical college. Liu Quanfa is firmly opposed. He insisted on Lixian Academy as a school specializing in architectural engineering until the liberation of Qingdao. Liu Quanfa left many beautifully designed architectural works in Qingdao, such as Wanzihui on Yushan Road (the predecessor of the Municipal Library) and China Bank on Zhongshan Road, which were all designed under his auspices. 1953, Liu Quanfa retired from the position of principal. At the same time, in the 1920s, he made great contributions to the reform of China's construction industry. He reformed the old method of using wooden beams as architectural support, especially the cornices on court buildings in the past, which had to be completed with wood. In Qingdao, he took the lead in using steel bars, cement and sand as a combination in the building of the Chinese character club, creating this patented technology and saving a lot of wood for the country and future generations. It can be said that his merits are boundless!
During the period of 1942, with the outbreak of the Pacific War, all the schools established by Britain and the United States in Qingdao were confiscated by Japanese imperialism. Lixian Middle School is the only private school that has not been confiscated. After eight years of bloody fighting, the people of China won the victory in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, and both Japanese and Germans became defeated countries. Lixian Middle School sponsored by the Swiss has never been confiscated and has been preserved until the liberation of Qingdao. After liberation, Qingdao Education Bureau unified the establishment of Qingdao Middle School, and Lixian Middle School was named Qingdao No.9 Middle School.
Mr. Cai Yuanpei, a famous revolutionary, educator and politician in China, visited Qingdao many times during his tenure in Lixian Middle School in Liu Quanfa. Mao Zedong called him "a first-class scholar and a model of the world". From June 65438 to June 0929, Cai Yuanpei came to Qingdao many times to supervise the establishment of Shandong University. 1932, Shandong University was established in Qingdao (now Yushan Road Ocean University). 1958, Shandong University moved to Jinan. Cai Yuanpei visited Lixian Middle School many times during his youth, and took a group photo with Liu Quanfa in front of the flower bed of Lixian Middle School. Due to historical reasons, this precious photo was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution.
Since the establishment of Lixian Middle School 100 years ago, a large number of architectural experts have been trained. These people have become experts and pillars of Qingdao's architecture and planning, and some of them have gone overseas and made great achievements. At the same time, many cultural celebrities have been trained, who are active in the contemporary literary world, and some have taken up important leadership positions. In recent years, the marriage of Tongji University in Shanghai and Qingdao No.9 Middle School has become a major feature. Interestingly, four generations of legalists in Liu Quan went to work after graduating from Lixian Middle School. Liu Hanyao, son of Liu Quanfa, 1933 was admitted to Lixian Middle School and then to Tongji University. Until the fall of Shanghai in 1939, Tongji University moved to Kunming. From 65438 to 0943, Liu Hanyao returned from school and became the engineering chief of Shandong Works Bureau, responsible for the railway and highway construction in the province. On the eve of liberation, he was the first director of Qingdao Waterworks. After liberation, he served as the chief architectural engineer of Qingdao, presided over the design of Yuezikou Reservoir and People's Hall in Qingdao, and was a member of Shandong Provincial Political Consultative Conference. Liu Qingchuan, the eldest son of Liu Hanyao, 19665438 was admitted to Qingdao No.9 Middle School and 1 graduated. His daughter was admitted to No.9 Middle School and went to work after graduation. Today, there are more than 2,000 students in Qingdao No.9 Middle School, and the scale is not the same as that at the beginning of the school. Things have changed, and Qingdao No.9 Middle School is showing new youth on the road of foreign language education.
