Conghua Revolutionary Martyrs' Monument

The Conghua Revolutionary Martyrs' Monument is a cultural relic protection unit of Conghua District.

The Conghua Revolutionary Martyrs' Monument is located at the intersection of Xining Middle Road and Education Road in Jiekou Town, Conghua. The site was originally the People's Park of Jiekou Town, the county seat. In November 1957, the People's Committee of Conghua County built this monument to commemorate the revolutionary martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the people's liberation cause. It covers an area of over 1,000 square meters. The monument faces south and is built with red bricks and finished with stone plaster. It consists of three parts: steps, a base, and the main tower, standing 10.6 meters tall. There are seven tiers of steps, each slightly inset from the one below, totaling 0.98 meters in height; the base has four tiers of steps, totaling 2.16 meters in height. The base is adorned with petal-shaped moldings around the perimeter, topped with wave-patterned reliefs. The bottom level of the base serves as a crypt, where the remains of over 60 martyrs are laid to rest. The main tower is 7.02 meters high, with a stepped rectangular shape and horizontal ribbing on its sides. The monument was renovated in 1964, and Bian Liuqun, then Secretary of the CPC Conghua County Committee, inscribed the epitaph: “Eternal glory to the revolutionary martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the people's liberation cause!”

In 1990, the Conghua Revolutionary Martyrs' Monument was designated as a cultural relic protection unit by the Conghua Municipal People's Government. In 2002, the surrounding wall of the monument was demolished and the area was redesigned with landscaping by the Construction and Municipal Administration Bureau, transforming it into a central urban park.
