The tree introduced today is a camphor tree, belonging to the Lauraceae family and the Camphor genus. It is located at the intersection of Shamian Fourth Street and Shamian Street. The tree has many branches, but some have been cut off. The trunk is straight, but now there is only one relatively sturdy branch, with branches on top. According to research, the tree was planted in 1857 and has a history of 160 years. It is said that this tree was planted by a patriot who was involved in the Second Opium War at that time. Two years later, Britain and France forcibly leased Shamian to establish a concession. The patriot was threatened to leave Shamian, but he would rather die than surrender. Finally, the tree was planted, and people were no longer there. But his spirit, like the branches of a tree, continued.
