The silk factory was founded in 1929, funded by Zhou Zhaofu, son of Zhou Shunqing, and entrusted to Qian Fenggao to manage it. Purchased 40 acres of land in the Nanchang Street area to build a factory. It has 512 silk reeling factories, 1,280 employees, and an annual output of 4,501 dan. It became enemy property during the Anti-Japanese War. After liberation, it was confiscated by the People's Government and renamed the state-owned Wuxi No. 1 Silk Reeling Factory. In 1994, the old site was announced as a cultural relic protection unit in Wuxi City. In 2018, its renovation project design plan was approved.
