MM043-Former Residence of General Ye Ting

Location: Macau
Category: Monuments
Address: Rua do Almirante Costa Cabral, n.º 76

General Ye Ting was one of the founders of the People’s Liberation Army of China. General Ye Ting and his family lived in this residence, from 1932 to 1942, until the wake of the Wannan Incident, which happened in 1941, when family members of General Ye started to leave Macao gradually (General Ye Ting himself was held hostage during the incident and his family moved back to the mainland to take care of him). From then on, the house was used as a base for the Communist endeavour, later being used as an office for the General Association of Chinese Students of Macau (A.G.E.C.W), and afterwards as a kindergarten operated by the Macao Women’s General Association (A.G.M.M.). In 2011, the Macao Women’s General Association  granted the property to the Cultural Affairs Bureau thereby enabling the installation of  an exhibition open to the public in the premises.
