In the 34th year of the Republic of China (1945), it was built to commemorate the victory of the Anti-Japanese War and is also known as the "Victory Monument." It is located at the east gate of the county town. The monument structure was repurposed from a thick, long stone pillar taken from the stone memorial archway of the Confucian Temple, and is square in shape. The monument is 5 meters tall, with each side measuring 0.5 meters wide, and includes a base. The front of the monument is inscribed with the large characters "Monument to Anti-Japanese War Martyrs and Compatriots Who Died in the War," while the back bears the inscription "National Spirit Remembered for a Thousand Autumns" in intaglio. The left and right sides are also inscribed with prefaces in intaglio.
This monument is now buried beneath the private foundation on the south bank of the moat at the east gate.
