The Red Mansion serves as a microcosm of how China's creative industry is flourishing. Liu Chang, Zhai Xiang and Cheng Zhuo report.
The Red Mansion has remained a magnet for youth for a century.
The four-story, redbrick icon of China's New Culture Movement has since its 1918 construction housed Peking University's library, school of arts, and presidents' and deans' offices. It has also housed maverick academics and revolutionaries who made history in the early 20th century, including Cai Yuanpei, Hu Shi, Li Dazhao, Chen Duxiu and Lu Xun.
