Martyrs' Tomb of Ma Jun

Martyrs' Tomb of Ma Jun

The Martyrs' Tomb of Ma Jun is a cultural tourism attraction and a patriotic education base.

The Martyrs' Tomb of Ma Jun was listed as a Key Martyrs’ Cemetery and Cultural Relics Protection Unit by the Chaoyang District and Beijing Municipal Governments in 1984 and 1987, respectively. In 1995, the Beijing Municipal Government and the Chaoyang District successively invested over 2 million yuan to renovate the tomb. A half-length bronze statue of Ma Jun was also funded and erected within the Chaoyang District. Eventually, an antique-style building covering an area of 200 m²—the Ma Jun Martyrs Memorial Hall—was constructed. Hardware facilities were gradually improved according to the design plan, and educational and contemporary exhibition content was arranged, including: a brief biography of Martyr Ma Jun, accounts of his deeds, photographic materials, and displays of items once used by Ma Jun. All photos and real artifacts were provided by Ma Jun’s family.

The Martyrs' Tomb of Ma Jun is located within Ritan Park.

In the 17th year of the Republic of China (1928), he was betrayed and killed by Zhang Zuolin in Beijing. After his death, he was buried in Ritan Park. In 1951, the Beijing Municipal Government held a grand public memorial ceremony and renovated his tomb. The tombstone was inscribed by Guo Moruo. In 1987, it was renovated again, and the tombstone was reinscribed by Deng Yingchao. At the same time, the remains of Ma Jun’s wife, Yang Xiurong, were reinterred on the eastern side. The tomb is built of white marble, with a white stone railing surrounding the platform. In recent years, the Chaoyang District has further renovated the tomb and established it as a youth education base.
