Did Chiang Kai-shek live in Xiangshan Villa in Chongqing before?

Xiangshan Villa in Chongqing has never been used by Chiang Kai-shek before.

Because Xiangshan Villa is a detention center, Chiang Kai-shek will not stay.

Xiangshan Villa, also known as Bai Mansion, was originally the villa of Sichuan warlord Bai Ju in the suburb of Shapingba, Chongqing. In the 193s, he built it to raise concubines. In 1938, the Military Bureau bought it for 3 taels of gold. In 1939, Juntong changed it into a detention center directly under the headquarters of Juntong Bureau, called Juntong Chongqing Detention Center, which mainly held political prisoners who were considered by the Kuomintang government to be of higher rank. After the establishment of SACO in 1943, the prisoners in Baigongguan were moved to Zhazidong. Bai Mansion was renamed the Third Guest House of the Sino-American Cooperation Institute for the residence of American personnel.

After the end of World War II, the Sino-American Cooperation Institute was abolished, and the American personnel returned to China, and Bai Mansion was restored as a detention center. And the junta merged the junta concentration camp in the southwest, Xifeng Prison, Wanglongmen Detention Center and Zhazidong Detention Center, and established Baigongguan Detention Center, which was later called the Secrecy Bureau Detention Center of the Ministry of National Defense.

On the wall of the courtyard of Bai Mansion, there are slogans such as "Make progress in thinking, be loyal, make up for it by retreating from thinking" and "Don't care about its benefits if it is appropriate, and don't care about its merits if it is clear". The underground storage room was changed into a dungeon, the original air-raid shelter into a torture room, and the house into a cell. Bai Mansion once held Huang Xiansheng, President of Tongji University Zhou Junshi, Liao Chengzhi, party member Song Qiyun, Xu Linxia and their youngest son "Little Radish Head", and at most, more than 2 political prisoners were held.
