Red Army Martyrs' Cemetery in Luwo

The Red Army Martyrs' Cemetery in Luwo is a cultural relics protection unit of Xifeng County.

The Red Army Martyrs' Cemetery in Luwo is located in Goutou Group, Laowo Village, Luwo Township, Xifeng County, and was listed as a county-level cultural relics protection unit in 1984. In 1935, when the Central Red Army passed through Luwo, Red Army soldiers who became separated from their units due to injury or illness were killed by local landlord militias. In 1967, the Luwo Commune Party Committee organized the local community to relocate the originally scattered burial sites and consolidate them into one cemetery. From north to south, the eight tombstones are arranged in a row: "Tomb of Martyr Huang," "Tomb of Company Commander Gao," "Tomb of ××," "Tomb of Company Commander Xia," "Tomb of Wang Chaozhi," "Tomb of ××," "Tomb of Martyr Li," and "Tomb of Martyr Qiu." The cemetery is rectangular, facing east and west, enclosed by earthen mounds and stone slabs, measuring 6.4 meters in length, 3.9 meters in width, and 1.45 meters in height. It holds certain value for the study of the history of the Red Army's Long March.
