Revolutionary Martyrs' Monument in Luojing

　　   The Revolutionary Martyrs' Monument in Luojing is a patriotic education base in Haikou City. It is situated on the east side of the Haikou–Yulin Middle Road at the 21-kilometer 600-meter mark, next to Luojing Village in Yongxing Town, Xiuying District, Haikou City. The managing authority is the Civil Affairs Bureau of Xiuying District, Haikou City.

　　   The Revolutionary Martyrs' Monument in Luojing was first built in 1952. The monument covers an area of 0.68 mu, has a square column shape, and stands 7 meters tall in total. It is constructed from stone, brick, and cement, featuring a square base platform accessed via five steps. The front of the monument is inscribed with the words “Eternal Glory to the Revolutionary Martyrs,” and a red five-pointed star is carved at the top of the shaft. A low wall with railings surrounds the base of the monument.

　　   Between 1941 and 1949, the Qiongya Column (Qiongya Anti-Japanese Independent Regiment and Independent Column) engaged in numerous fierce battles against Japanese forces, puppet troops, and stubborn Kuomintang troops in areas around Luojing such as Daqiao, Fulu, Qiaozi, Xianliang, Tinglin, Yongxing, Jinxingding, and Luojing itself. These battles eliminated a significant number of enemy combatants. One of the more notable engagements was the ambush near Daqiao carried out on September 17, 1942, by the Second and Third Battalions of the Qiongya Anti-Japanese Independent Regiment, which destroyed three Japanese vehicles and killed or injured over 40 Japanese soldiers. Throughout this series of battles in the region, the Qiongya Column suffered great losses. This monument was erected in memory of the revolutionary martyrs who sacrificed their lives in these battles.
