Raohe Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Memorial Monument

　　  The Raohe Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Memorial Monument is situated on the scenic Xiaonanshan Mountain, with the Ussuri River to its south, and spans an area of about 40,000 square meters. It is among the first group of nationally protected key martyrs’ memorial facilities. Approved personally by Premier Zhou Enlai in 1963, construction of the monument began in 1985 and was fully completed in August 1986. The monument stands 16.6 meters tall, with the statue portion reaching 6.9 meters in height, and is sculpted from 14 blocks of granite. The inscriptions on the front, “Raohe Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Memorial Monument,” and on the back, “Eternal Glory to the Martyrs of the Anti-Japanese War,” were handwritten by Chen Lei, former Governor of Heilongjiang Province. After over twenty years of development, the Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Memorial Monument has become an important red tourism site and patriotic education base in the county.
