The active region Boulder # 5395 (N34, L257), which appeared on the disk in March 1989, is one of the biggest active regions in fifty years. Study on the structure and dynamical characteristics of the region can help to understand the physics of solar flares. Many authors have studied morphology and sunspot motion of the region (e.g. Wang et al. 1991, and Zhao 1990); the magnetic emergence and shear; the relationship between the extrusion and the flares and the characteristics of the magnetic and velocity fields in the flare sites (Chen 1990; Li et al. 1990; Zhang et al. 1990). It comes into question that most of the regions display the features mentioned above but only a few of them produce such a high activity as AR5395 does. In other word, AR5395 must possess some particular features that are probably related to its high activity. Our attempt is to find what the special features are.
