The Red Army was stationed at and around Wanying Temple, where they painted six slogans on the temple walls, including “Equality between Men and Women,” “Fair Trade,” “Down with Local Tyrants and Evil Gentry,” and “Everyone Has Land to Farm.” As the Red Army advanced into central Fujian, they left the spark of revolution there.
