The Majiacun Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Base (also known as the Xiaowangqing Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Base) is located about 4 li southeast of Donglin Village, Dongguang Township, Wangqing County, on the eastern side of Banshi Mountain (known as Majiacun at the time), as well as in the Lishugou area along the southern bank of the Donglin River. Included sites are: the former office site of the CPC East Manchuria Special Committee and CPC Wangqing County Committee, the former site of the Wangqing County Guerrilla Brigade Headquarters, the former site of the Second District Soviet Government of Wangqing County, the former site of the Wangqing Guerrilla Barracks, and the former site of Yitian Primary School. In February 1933, under the leadership of the CPC East Manchuria Special Committee and the Wangqing County Committee, the Second District Soviet Government of Wangqing County was officially established in Majiacun, marking the formal founding of the Xiaowangqing Guerrilla Base. In December 1933, Japanese puppet troops carried out a "punitive expedition" against the base lasting over forty days, reducing its population from over 1,500 residents to just over 400. In January 1934, the Party organization withdrew from the Xiaowangqing Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Base, relocating its members and the local populace to areas such as Tangtang, Dahuangwei, and Yaoyinggou.
