Tiger Rock

　　   Wuheshe Village, Xiamei Town, Tiger Rock is the site where Wu Tingjian, a member of the Central Committee of the Jinghepu County Party Committee, Vice Chairman of the Jinghepu Border Soviet Government, and Secretary of the Zhangpu County Party Committee, was martyred on January 29, 1943.

　　   Comrade Wu Tingjian was from Longling Village, Shiliu Town, Zhangpu County, born in 1893. In 1930, he secretly carried out revolutionary activities in Cheben and Xiaoshancheng, embraced revolutionary ideas, joined revolutionary organizations, and brought the spark of revolution back to his hometown of Longling. He secretly established and developed peasant association organizations. In early 1932, when Deng Zihui led the struggle of peasants near Xiaoshancheng against the collection of the so-called “airplane donation,” he actively supported and participated alongside the masses of Longling. In April 1932, after the Red Army captured Zhangzhou, he led the peasants of Longling and Xiaoshancheng in overthrowing local tyrants, redistributing land, and establishing a Soviet government, making significant contributions to the creation of the Jinghepu revolutionary base centered around Xiaoshancheng. In February 1933, under the Party’s leadership, he actively organized and mobilized the people in the Soviet area to launch a vigorous land revolution movement, and established and improved grassroots Party organizations, peasant associations, and the Red Guards, which greatly boosted the revolutionary enthusiasm of the people in the base area. In the difficult years that followed, he led the people of the Soviet area in resisting multiple encirclement campaigns by reactionary forces and opened up new revolutionary bases in Liangshan and Houjing. Wu Tingjian successively served as a member of the Central Committee of the Jinghepu County Party Committee, Vice Chairman of the Jinghepu Border Soviet Government, and Secretary of the Zhangpu County Party Committee. On January 29, 1943, he was surrounded by enemies at the Party committee headquarters in Tiger Rock, Huxia Rock, and died a martyr’s death.

　　   The martyrdom site of Wu Tingjian, Tiger Rock, is a natural stone cave formed by nearly a hundred large rocks stacked together in a mountain hollow. It is located at the eastern foothills of Jinguang Mountain and has not yet been silted up due to the protection of vegetation on the mountain. In April 1984, it was designated as a cultural relic protection unit of Zhangpu County by the Zhangpu County People's Government.
