Fushun (simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: ; pinyin: Fǔshùn, formerly romanised as Fouchouen, using French spelling) is a prefecture level city in Liaoning province, China, about 45 km (28 mi) east of Shenyang, with a population of 2,138,090 inhabitants (2010 census) and a total area of 11,272 km2 (4,352 sq mi), 714 km2 (276 sq mi) of which is the city proper. Situated on the Hun River ("muddy river"), it is one of the industrial and economic development hubs in Liaoning.
The Jurchen (Manchu) leader Nurhaci married his granddaughter by his son Abatai to the Ming dynasty General Li Yongfang ({{{2}}}) after Li surrendered Fushun in 1618. The offspring of Li received the "Third Class Viscount" (三等子爵; sān děng zǐjué) title. Li Yongfang was the great great great grandfather of Li Shiyao .
Fushun was in a depressed state for near one-and-a-half centuries of the early Qing dynasty. It was in 1783 that the Fushun new city was completed southwest of the old City. The city was occupied by Russia until 1905 and by Japan until 1945. With the Japanese victory over Imperial Russia and signing of the Treaty of Portsmouth, the South Manchuria branch (from Changchun to Lüshun) of the China Far East Railway was transferred to Japanese control. South Manchuria Railway Company quickly expanded the system inherited from Russia to staggering proportions. They developed coal mines at Fushun. Under the control of the Japanese and with 30 years of development, the Fushun area became a highly industrialized area. In Fushun there is also a Lei Feng Memorial Hall, with a museum.
