Yudu County Revolutionary Martyrs' Memorial Hall

Yudu County Revolutionary Martyrs' Memorial Hall was established to honor the outstanding contributions of revolutionary martyrs. In 1955, the Yudu County People's Government constructed a memorial hall and a memorial pavilion on this site. With the caring attention of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, the foundation-laying ceremony for the Yudu County Revolutionary Martyrs' Memorial Hall was held in 1987, with the inscription on the plaque personally penned by [Comrade — name omitted]. The memorial officially opened to the public in December 1990.
The site covers an area of 11,000 square meters. The building features a brick-concrete structure with a corridor-style layout. The main hall has a double-eaved hip-and-gable roof covered with glazed tiles, giving the entire complex an elegant, solemn, and dignified appearance that reflects traditional Chinese architectural style. In front of the main hall stands the sculpture "Children of the Soviet Area," created using realistic techniques to vividly portray three revolutionary figures: a Red Army commander, a Red Army soldier, and a female Red Guard. The sculpture is highly artistically moving.
The memorial has a total exhibition area of 434 square meters and a display line stretching 161 meters. It is divided into one entrance hall, one memorial hall, and six exhibition rooms, showcasing the stories and some personal belongings of 147 notable martyrs from Yudu County. The entire exhibition is arranged chronologically by the date of the martyrs' sacrifice and based on historical facts. Through texts, charts, artifacts, oil paintings, photographs, and sculptures, it presents a series of moving scenes depicting the unyielding, successive, and bloody struggles of the people of Yudu for China’s revolutionary cause. It serves as a meaningful place for visitors to mourn the martyrs and pay tribute to their memory.
