The Tomb of Pan Dawei

The Tomb of Pan Dawei is a cultural relic protection site under the jurisdiction of Yuexiu District.

In the eastern part of the Huanghuagang Martyrs' Cemetery stands a 180-square-meter square-columned memorial tomb, located adjacent to the east of the Tomb of the Seventy-Two Martyrs. The front of the gravestone is inscribed with “The Tomb of Mr. Pan Dawei”; the east side bears “Tomb Epitaph for Mr. Pan Dawei” written by Yao Yuping; the west side features “Inscription on the Tomb Tablet of Mr. Pan Dawei” inscribed by Li Zhangda; and the north side is engraved with “Pan Dawei’s Autobiography” from the Xinyou Year (1921).

In 1929, Pan Dawei passed away in Guangzhou. He was later buried near the Huanghuagang Cemetery, his name forever honored alongside the Seventy-Two Martyrs.

Mr. Pan Dawei (1880–1929) was originally from Panyu, Guangdong Province—today’s Tangdong Village in Dongpu Town, Tianhe District, Guangzhou. His original courtesy name was Tiecang, and his alias was Jingwu.

In the first year of the Xuantong reign of the Qing Dynasty (1909), Mr. Pan Dawei joined the Tongmenghui (Chinese Revolutionary Alliance) founded by Sun Yat-sen. His epitaph reads: “He devoted his life to the revolution and sympathized with the sufferings of humanity. Of a gentle and unassuming nature, skilled in painting, and upholding righteousness…” He contributed selflessly and fearlessly to the revolutionary cause, and dedicated his life to revitalizing Chinese culture, innovating literature and art, and advancing philanthropic endeavors. He was truly an extraordinary figure in modern Chinese history.
