Building No. 40 is an old U-shaped building. The ancient woods that are higher than the roof, the red wooden staircase that loops upward, and the small flower bed in the center of the courtyard all form an aura of their own. On February 1, 1913, St. John’s University held a semester closing ceremony. Mr. Sun Yat-sen was invited to attend and gave a speech in Building 40, then called the Siyan Hall Great Hall.
In the summer of 1925, the May 30 Movement broke out in Shanghai. On June 3, a commemorative event for the dead compatriots was forcibly interfered, and students participating in the event were also asked to leave St. John’s University. After leaving the school, teachers and students founded Guanghua University with funding from all walks of life, which means the Chinese nation is like "sun and moon brilliance", and June 3 is determined as the school day. In 1951, the Fei Wei Hall of St. John’s University was renamed the sixth and third floor to commemorate it.
The social building completed in December 1929, formerly known as the social room, played a very important role during the liberation of Shanghai, and was called "the first camp of the command of Songhu by the commander of the three fields." From the night of May 25 to the early morning of May 26, 1949, third field army commander Chen Yi led the East China Bureau and took over the cadre team. From Danyang Jiangsu Danyang took a train to Nanxiang , he and Other leading comrades of the East China Bureau Zhang Dingcheng, Zeng Shan and the secretary-general and Wei Wenbo then took the jeep from Nanxiang to St. John's University and moved into the social room.

He was only 20 years old. The Ning District Headquarters of the People's Security Captain is located in the sports room on the Huazheng Old Campus. Now Huazheng has built the Sports Culture Museum in the sports room, turning the campus into a place with strong sports culture implications.

"The government's project is really sweet!" Walking from the wrought iron arch of Gezhi Building to the Suzhou Riverside Trail, the retired Ms. Lu is taking a walk. Her family lives on Wanhangdu Road near the school. Since June of this year, I learned that the riverside part of East China University of Political Science and Law will be opened. I thought the construction period would be very long. Relatively old, the new marble flood wall looks good, and it is comfortable to lean on. Now, in addition to taking a walk with my wife, I also like to walk around here and sit by the river after buying food by myself.
On the Suzhou Riverside Trail, Guo Weilu visited the student day volunteers serving there. "The public space improvement project on both sides of the Suzhou Creek is of great significance to the school. It is something that Chinese political people are worthy of happiness and pride." Guo Weilu encouraged volunteers to show the demeanor of Chinese political people, tell the story of Huazheng, and do a good job together."
