Yingqian Revolutionary Martyrs' Cemetery

Yingqian Revolutionary Martyrs' Cemetery
  Yingqian Revolutionary Martyrs' Cemetery is situated on Zhuling in the center of Yingqian Town. The cemetery faces north while its back is to the south, symbolizing the northward Long March for resistance against Japan and the loyalty toward Beijing. The monument is cast from coarse aggregate cement, with the seven large characters “Revolutionary Martyrs Monument” engraved on the front, and on the back, an inscription by Marshal Peng Dehuai: “The blood of the martyrs nurtured the flowers of revolution.” The four sides of the base of the tower are inlaid with four pieces of terrazzo stone tablets. The one on the true north side is inscribed with a preface. The tablets on the east, south, and west sides bear the names of the martyrs who bravely sacrificed their lives during the Yingqian Uprising. There is a pavilion in front of and behind the memorial tower. In the front pavilion, facing directly north, the newly built “Martyr Zhu Zhongran’s Tomb” can be found. Zhu Zhongran was a high-ranking official from Yingqian who died during the Soviet era. Inside the rear pavilion stands a tablet inscribed with the words “Immortal Glory.” On both sides of the monument are propaganda slogans engraved by the Workers’ and Peasants’ Red Army during that time. To the east are three revolutionary tombs: the tomb of the renowned General He Jiachan; the tomb of General Huang Zhentang, with the inscription personally written by a Marshal; and the tomb of Comrade Liu Guohui, a veteran Red Army soldier who endured the Long March.
