Lonely Planet review for Former Furen University

This grand building on Dingfu Jie just around the corner from Prince Gong’s Residence once housed Furen University, founded by the Benedictine order in 1925. Today the magnificent building belongs to Beijing Normal University. On the wall to the west of the main door is a quality slogan from the Cultural Revolution, which poetically intones: 伟大的领袖毛主席是我们心中最红最红的红太阳 – ‘The mighty leader Chairman Mao is the reddest, reddest of red suns in our heart’. On the wall on the other side of the door is another lengthy slogan that has been largely blotted out.
