General Fang Zhenwu's Tomb

General Fang Zhenwu's Tomb is a cultural relic protection unit of Huainan City.

General Fang Zhenwu was born into a poor farming family on South Street in Wabu Town. As a child, he made a living selling cold water. At the age of 16, he was admitted to the Anqing Military Preparatory School and began his military career after graduation. He once held a senior position in Chiang Kai-shek’s army but later saw through Chiang’s true nature and resolutely turned against him, after which he was “placed under house arrest.” After regaining his freedom, he joined Ji Hongchang and Feng Yuxiang in organizing the Anti-Japanese Allied Army, serving as the Frontline Commander-in-Chief and continuing his opposition to Chiang. In December 1941, he was assassinated by Chiang Kai-shek’s secret agents. To allow future generations to honor the spirit of this anti-Japanese general, the People’s Government of Anhui Province built General Fang’s Tomb in the Fang family cemetery in Wabu Town and erected a monument to commemorate his national integrity.
