Zhi Xin Park

The Zhu Zhi Xin Memorial Monument is located within the Navy Hospital in Humen Town (now Zhi Xin Park). It was erected in the 12th year of the Republic of China (1923). The monument stands 7.2 meters tall, with a base that is 2.6 meters wide on each side, built from polished granite. The monument bears an inscription handwritten by Hu Hanmin in the 20th year of the Republic of China, along with an epitaph composed and inscribed in the 21st year. At 0 o'clock, the inscriptions were defaced by rebels, but the monument was restored and repaired in 1986.

Zhu Zhi Xin (1885–1920) was a modern democratic revolutionary, originally named Da Fu. He was born in Xiaoshan, Zhejiang, but grew up in Panyu, Guangdong. In 1905 (the 31st year of the Guangxu reign), he went to Japan to study and joined the Tongmenghui (Chinese Revolutionary Alliance). He contributed articles to the Min Bao newspaper and engaged in debates with reformists. In 1910 (the 2nd year of the Xuantong reign), he participated in the New Army Uprising in Guangzhou alongside Zhao Sheng and Ni Yingdian. The following year, he took part in the Guangzhou Uprising led by Huang Xing (the Huanghuagang Uprising). In 1913, he joined the movement against Yuan Shikai and later became a member of the Chinese Revolutionary Party, continuing to promote armed resistance against Yuan in southern China. During the "0" Movement in 1917, he served as a military liaison in Sun Yat-sen’s Grand Marshal’s Office. The next year, he followed Sun Yat-sen to Shanghai. After the May Fourth Movement, he published the Construction Magazine in Shanghai, actively supporting Sun Yat-sen and remaining committed to the revolution. In 1920, he traveled to Guangdong to persuade the Gui clique army to defect, but was assassinated in Humen. His collected works are compiled in the “Collected Works of Zhu Zhi Xin.”
