The Riverside Building on the north bank of Suzhou River was built with the investment of Jewish Sassoon. It was reputed as the "Top Apartment in the Far East" and many American film companies set up branches here. In 1938, the Riverside Building received many Jewish refugees. The 90-year-old Sun Lanru lived in the Riverside Building with her husband, a cadre who came to the south China.
