Located on Yanglian Mountain northwest of Da’an Village, Songshu Town, Jiangyuan County. The period is 1936. On April 20, 1981, it was announced as a cultural relic protection unit by the People’s Government of Jilin Province. Wang Detai (1908–1936), originally from Shandong, moved to Yanbian in his youth. He joined the revolution in 1931, served as Minister of the Anti-Imperialist League of Yanji County in 1932, and later became Political Commissar and Commander of the Independent Division of the 2nd Army of the Northeast People’s Revolutionary Army, member of the Southeast Manchuria Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, and Deputy Commander-in-Chief and Commander of the 2nd Army of the First Route Army of the Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army. He was killed in battle against Japanese puppet forces in Xiaotanghe, Da’an Village, in August 1936 and was buried here at that time. The tomb was built and a monument erected in 1959, and renovated in 1982. It now covers an area of 600 square meters, surrounded by iron railings. At the center is a stone and cement tomb mound with a diameter and height of 3 meters each. In front stands a tombstone that is 3.3 meters high, 0.23 meters thick, and 0.8 meters wide. The front is inscribed with “Tomb of General Wang Detai, Commander of the 2nd Army of the Anti-Japanese United Army,” and the back records the life of the martyr.
