Jinggangshan Xiaojing Red Army Martyrs' Cemetery

Jinggangshan Xiaojing Red Army Martyrs' Cemetery is a cultural tourism attraction and a classic red tourism destination.

Jinggangshan Xiaojing Red Army Martyrs' Cemetery, also known as the site where wounded Red Army soldiers were martyred in Xiaojing, is just a hundred meters away from the Xiaojing Red Army Hospital. Originally, this was a rice field. In December 1928, the reactionary Kuomintang forces of Hunan and Jiangxi provinces launched the third "encirclement and suppression" campaign. On January 29, 1929, enemy troops, led by a local ruffian named Chen Kai'en, rushed into Xiaojing Village. At that time, more than 130 seriously wounded soldiers who were recuperating in the hospital were unable to evacuate in time and were brutally shot to death here by the enemy.

In 1951, the People's Government of Jinggangshan District, Suichuan County, built the "Dajing Red Army Martyrs' Cemetery" on the hillside behind Dajing Village to commemorate the martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the revolution. The cemetery faces south, has a gate that is 2.66 meters high, and covers an area of 100 square meters. It houses the remains of over 160 revolutionary martyrs who died heroically in Dajing. The cemetery gate is inscribed with a memorial plaque deeply mourning the revolutionary martyrs by the people of Jinggangshan.
