Site of the Martyrdom of the Red Army Wounded and Sick at Xiaojing

　　The Xiaojing Red Army Hospital, the hospital of the Fourth Red Army of China, was rebuilt on the original site according to period photographs, largely preserving its original appearance. It had 36 wards but could not fully accommodate all the wounded and sick at the time, so some lightly injured soldiers were treated in the homes of local villagers. This site holds an important place in the history of the Chinese revolution. Zeng Zhi, a female Red Army soldier, served as the first Party branch secretary of the hospital and later became the deputy head of the Organization Department of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.

　　More than 200 wounded and sick soldiers were hospitalized at the Xiaojing Red Army Hospital. In January 1929, during the Kuomintang army’s third “encirclement and suppression” campaign against Jinggangshan, over 130 seriously wounded soldiers who could not be evacuated in time were driven by the Kuomintang forces to a nearby rice field and brutally killed after the fall of Huangyangjie. All perished. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the “Xiaojing Red Army Martyrs’ Cemetery” was built here.
