Xixiang Revolutionary Martyrs' Cemetery

Xixiang Revolutionary Martyrs' Cemetery is a patriotic education base.

Xixiang Revolutionary Martyrs' Cemetery, commonly known as Xiaozheng Martyrs' Tomb. In April 1973, Zhuangqian Port in Xiaozheng Town built a martyrs' tomb to bury those who sacrificed their lives during the Battle of Zhuangqian Port in the War of Resistance Against Japan. Later, it successively received the remains of other martyrs such as Wu Zhixi, who died during the Great Revolution and the Liberation War in the Qingxi area. In 1985, the martyrs' tomb was relocated to a new site in Taoyuan, one kilometer west of Xiaozheng Town. In June 1987, it was designated as a key martyrs' memorial building protection unit of Qingpu County, and in 1994, it was listed as a county-level patriotic education base. In 1999, the scattered martyrs' tombs in Shenxiang (Xie Shiguan Martyrs' Tomb), Liansheng (Youjiabang Martyrs' Tomb), and Shangta, among others, were moved and centralized at Xiaozheng Martyrs' Tomb, which was then renamed “Xixiang Revolutionary Martyrs' Cemetery.”

The five burial areas in the cemetery house the remains of 48 martyrs from the Great Revolution period, the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Liberation War, and the Korean War. On the north side of the cemetery is the Xixiang Revolutionary Martyrs Exhibition Hall, which introduces the deeds of 53 martyrs from western Qingpu and 11 non-local martyrs who died in the western Qingpu area through a large number of photographs, historical materials, and documents, as well as major historical events in the Qingxi region.
