The Statue of General Yang Jingyu serves as a patriotic education base.

Named after the renowned anti-Japanese general, General Yang Jingyu. In 1993, the Party Committee of Kongjiang Subdistrict and Jingyu Middle School jointly erected a statue of General Yang Jingyu on campus, designating the site as a patriotic education base. Since then, various organizations have repeatedly held commemorative activities for students in front of the statue to honor the revolutionary martyrs and promote patriotism. In September 2006, Shanghai Foreign Language School Affiliated Bilingual School relocated and renovated the Statue of General Yang Jingyu. It is now surrounded by pine and cypress trees with lush green grass. Every year during the Qingming Festival, the school holds a solemn “Commemoration of Martyrs — Qingming Memorial Activity,” offering flower baskets to the statue of General Yang Jingyu to express grief and respect, and taking solemn oaths.
