Feng Baiju Memorial Pavilion

　　The Feng Baiju Memorial Pavilion is a key revolutionary memorial building under protection in Hainan Province, as well as a patriotism education base and youth revolutionary tradition education base in Haikou City. It is located within Haikou People's Park at No. 2 Gongyuan Road, Haikou City. The managing authority is the Haikou Municipal Bureau of Parks and Woods.

　　The memorial pavilion was completed in February 1989, covering an area of 7.2 mu. It consists of a main pavilion and two smaller pavilions, connected by a corridor in the middle, facing south and situated north. The entire structure is built from granite. The central structure is the main pavilion, with hexagonal pavilions on both sides. Between the three pavilions, 14-meter-long corridors are built on the left and right to form an arc shape. Twenty meters directly in front of the main pavilion, 13 large granite stones are carved into five mountain peaks, symbolizing the majestic Five Finger Mountains, with the central peak featuring a sculpture of General Feng Baiju’s head. Below the five peaks, there is a two-tiered circular base; the bottom tier has a diameter of 21.6 meters, while the upper tier is embedded in the center of the lower one with a diameter of 12 meters, covered with lush green grass, symbolizing the “oasis” in the sea—Hainan Island. The “island” has the Five Finger Mountains rising in its center. At the center of the back of the base beneath the peaks lies the ashes of General Feng Baiju, covered by a piece of black marble. Above is a bust of Feng Baiju without a hat, and below are inscribed the words: “Feng Baiju (1903–1973), an outstanding member of the Communist Party of China, a loyal soldier of the Chinese people, a long-tested proletarian revolutionary, and ‘a banner of the Qiongya people.’”

　　 Below the statue of Feng Baiju are inscribed the words “General Feng Baiju,” written by Deng Xiaoping. The horizontal lintel above the main pavilion bears the inscription “Feng Baiju Memorial Pavilion,” written by Wang Zhen. On the central wall inside the pavilion is inscribed the “Biography of Feng Baiju,” established by the CPC Hainan Provincial Committee and the Hainan Provincial People’s Government. On either side are relief sculptures: the left depicts the heroic image of Qiongya’s revolutionary forces holding out alone on the island for “23 years with the red flag never falling”; the right shows the scene of the People’s Liberation Army crossing the sea to liberate Hainan and victoriously joining forces with the Qiongya Column. The left corridor’s wall is inscribed with evaluations of General Feng Baiju by Mao Zedong, Zhou Enlai, and Guo Moruo; the right corridor’s wall features comments on the Qiongya revolution by Xu Xiangqian, Nie Rongzhen, and Yang Shangkun.

　　The memorial pavilion is solemn and dignified, surrounded by green trees, making the whole structure majestic, simple, beautiful, and elegant.
