Bozhou Lixin County Martyrs' Cemetery

Bozhou Lixin County Martyrs' Cemetery is a cultural tourism attraction and a classic red tourism site.

Introduction Originally named the Lujizhen Martyrs' Monument, it is located in Lujizhen, Lixin County. The remains of seven martyrs, including Zhu Jumin, who sacrificed their lives during the War of Resistance against Japan and the Liberation War, are buried here. In 1984, the county government funded its construction, and in December 2003, the county government funded its renovation, expansion, and renaming as the Lixin County Martyrs' Cemetery. The entire cemetery is 110 meters long and 90 meters wide, with a 10-meter-high monument that is majestic and solemn in an austere, classical style. Nestled against a “mountain” and beside water, shaded by pines and cypresses, the cemetery is filled with fragrance. It combines the solemnity of a memorial park with the beauty and freshness of a garden, integrating both commemorative and sightseeing functions. Wang Guangyu, former Deputy Secretary of the Anhui Provincial Party Committee and Director of the Provincial People's Congress, inscribed the words “Eternal Glory to Revolutionary Martyrs!” on the monument. Zheng Rui, former Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Congress, wrote the name of the cemetery. It serves as a patriotic education base for youth in Lixin County.
