Lotus Revolutionary Martyrs Memorial Hall

It is a red tourism destination and a patriotic education base, located on the left side of South Gate Square in the county town of Jiangxi Province. It can be directly accessed via Liberation South Street or Wai Zi Road in the county town. This specialized memorial hall displays the life stories, photographic materials, and precious relics of revolutionary martyrs who emerged since the Second Revolutionary Civil War. The hall was initially funded and built in 1956 by the Jiangxi Provincial Department of Civil Affairs, originally named the “Revolutionary Martyrs Memorial Hall.” In 1967, the county government renovated it to restore its original appearance. It was refurbished again in 1983 and renamed the “County Revolutionary Martyrs Memorial Hall.” The site covers an area of 7,400 square meters, with a building area of 1,340 square meters, and the main structure occupies 556.25 square meters. It features a palatial pavilion-style design with brick and wood construction, double eaves, and upturned corners, presenting a majestic and spectacular sight. The interior consists of one central hall and two side rooms, with a mourning hall in the center and exhibition rooms on both sides. The two exhibition halls display the life stories and personal effects of some martyrs, as well as photographs of notable martyrs, weapons used by local militias, and important historical documents for public commemoration. The right side room also exhibits the first plaque made in 1931 by the Red Postal Service of the Hunan-Jiangxi Soviet Area. In front of and to the left of the memorial hall stands a 16-meter-high Revolutionary Martyrs Monument, built in 1956. The front of the monument is inscribed with “Revolutionary Martyrs Memorial,” while the back reads “Revolutionary Martyrs Live Forever.” The surrounding area is shaded by centuries-old pine, cypress, and red-crowned fir trees, creating a serene, solemn, and lush environment.
