Cen Richu was a well-known Yin Shang in Xinhui, Guangdong, and he was kind and helpful. In 1978, the mansion was sold to Mr. Qiu Ziwen and his son, Mr. Qiu Mucheng, and was renamed "Jingxianli". The mansion was resold to the previous owner in August 2007. King Yin Lei is a popular photo spot for tourists. Many films have been filmed here, including the internationally renowned film "Jiang Hu Ke" (1955) and the locally produced TV series "Beijing Spring Dream" (1980). Since the top of the mountain was always an area where foreigners live, the location of King Yin Lane symbolizes the rise of the Chinese business class at that time and also shows the early history of Hong Kong when noble residential areas began to take shape in the mid-levels.......
