Nie Shicheng Martyrdom Memorial in Tianjin

　　       Introduction       Located at the intersection of Zijinshan Road and Jinyan Highway in Nankai District, the memorial features a granite base with a 2.4-meter-high tablet on top. The front of the tablet is inscribed with “Site of Martyr Nie Zhongjie’s Death.” The two side pillars bear the inscription: “Valiant and resolute as a rainbow—recall how in those years his body was wrapped in horsehide, his loyal heart refusing to be lost amid the angry waves crashing ashore; Devoted and sincere, his blood stains the earth—look now at the insects and sands surviving the calamity, the white bones of the army lamenting in the southern war songs.” The horizontal plaque reads “Inspiring Awe.” Before it was re-erected in 1984, only the seven characters “Site of Martyr Nie Zhongjie’s Death” remained.
