Zhongnan City Martyrs Cemetery is located at No. 811 Yongkang Road, Zhongnan City, covering an area of more than 60 acres.
Here is a youth patriotism education base integrating the Martyrs Cemetery, the Martyrs Memorial Hall, and the Revolutionary History Memorial Hall.
The garden is covered with green grass, pines and cypresses are evergreen all year round, and flowers bloom in spring and summer.
The beautiful environment, integrated with the solemn Monument to the Revolutionary Martyrs, the Revolutionary Memorial Hall and other buildings, demonstrates the respect and remembrance of the ancestors by later generations.
Never forget the past and be the teacher of the future.
Although our ancestors fought bloody battles, the difficult years of creating peace for future generations are too far away from today's people.
However, countless patriotic young people and people with lofty ideals have never forgotten the years when the Chinese nation was humiliated.
Death is not the end of life.
Forgetting is.
When Xu Jie led his classmates on foot from Zhenzhong to the Martyrs Cemetery, the spring rain began to subside.
The weak sunlight shines on the ground through the clouds, adding a special charm to the Martyrs Cemetery after the rain.
It was as if those countless ancestors felt the sincerity of the children in the other world.
This is indeed the case for the students in Class 9.
Regardless of whether they are boys or girls, no matter what their personalities and tempers are, no matter how naughty and careless they are.
The moment they stepped into the Martyrs Cemetery, everyone became serious and serious.
That is their respect and respect for their ancestors.
After entering the gate, the first thing that comes into view is the Revolutionary Martyrs Monument located in the center of the square.
This monument to revolutionary martyrs is 28 meters high.
The body of the monument is composed of three abstract firearms from the Anti-Japanese War period.
The appearance is majestic and spectacular, giving people an extremely shocking feeling.
The large gilded characters "Monument to the Revolutionary Martyrs" engraved on the stone tablet were inscribed by Master Wang Huanyan, a master of calligraphy in the Long Kingdom.
The font is majestic and shows endless heroic spirit. Just by looking at it, one can seem to feel the invincible momentum of the martyrs.
After visiting the Revolutionary Martyrs Monument, Xu Jie first took the students to the Revolutionary History Memorial Hall.
Displayed here are heroes and deeds during the Anti-Japanese War.
In the modern memorial hall, objects from the war period, sculptures carved in the later period, videos, pictures, texts, etc. are all available, with pictures and texts.
Modern sound and light technology fully demonstrates the revolutionary martyrs who made important contributions to the revolution in Zhongnan City, directly taking students back to the war era of blood and fire.
When they came out of the Revolutionary History Memorial Hall, the students in Class 9 were still immersed in that epic history.
"Although I have come to the Martyrs Cemetery more than once, I always feel deeply shocked every time I come here."
"Yes, it obviously happened decades ago or even more than a hundred years ago, but looking back now, I can still feel the pain, struggle, resistance, counterattack, and the endless victory of the people at that time.
Endless joy.”
"The war only wrote a few pages in the history books, but it actually tore off nearly half of the world."
"If you fall behind, you will be beaten. This is an eternal truth. Look at it now, which country in the world dares to attack our land?"
"The revolutionary martyrs during the Anti-Japanese War, the great scientists after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the hard work of generations of ancestors have made us prosperous and prosperous today."
"Yeah, without atomic bombs, hydrogen bombs, etc., our generation probably wouldn't even have them."
"Indeed, given the current international situation, without these strategic nuclear weapons, our parents' generation, let alone us, might be gone."
"The further we look forward, the more we can feel the greatness of our ancestors."
"The page you turn over in the history book is their magnificent life!"
"Damn it! This is such a good thing to say!"
…
After visiting the Revolutionary History Memorial Hall, Xu Jie took the students to the Martyrs Memorial Hall.
Here, weapons, letters, bloody clothes and other relics of martyrs from different periods are displayed.
It has continued from the Anti-Japanese War period to modern times.
When entering here, Xu Jie, who had been observing the students, keenly noticed something strange about a classmate.
Du Yan!
Xu Jie's brows wrinkled slightly.
In fact, when he left the campus, he felt that this kid was a little weird today.
He is a child who wants to join the army. Xu Jie has always known this, and has already started special training for him and the army.
But on the way to the Martyrs Cemetery today, when he wanted Du Yan to lead his classmates in singing a military song, he saw a forced smile on his face.
Such a look has never been seen on Du Yan since Xu Jie took over Class 9.
At that time, he felt very strange. He originally thought that this kid was not feeling well today or something.
Now it seems, obviously not.
When he was at the Revolutionary History Memorial Hall, Du Yan's behavior was quite calm, with no special changes.
But when he came out of the Revolutionary History Memorial Hall and walked towards the Martyrs Memorial Hall, Xu Jie clearly felt his struggle.
He seems reluctant to enter here?
This is strange!
Du Yan is a man who wants to be a soldier.
How could he show struggle to enter the Martyrs Memorial Hall?
Xu Jie came to Du Yan's side quietly and patted his shoulder gently.
"Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
Du Yan shook his head slightly, "No...no, Teacher Xu, I...I'm fine."
Is this okay?
When Xu Jie came to him, he could feel his body trembling slightly.
Under Xu Jie's special training, Du Yan's physical fitness is not the best in the class, but he can definitely be ranked among the top.
In today's warm and comfortable spring, your body is shaking?
But Xu Jie has never been in the habit of forcing students.
Since he was resisting in his heart and unwilling to take the initiative to speak, Xu Jie did not ask further questions.
"It's okay, just tell me if anything happens."
As he said that, Xu Jie moved slightly away from Du Yan, but his eyes did not leave Du Yan.
Along the way, the students passed through the Anti-Japanese War period, the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the reform period, and the closest modern times.
When we were about to reach the end of the Martyrs Memorial Hall, the white walls on both sides were illustrated with pictures and texts describing the deeds of the martyrs eight years ago.
On July 20, eight years ago, heavy rain fell in Linjiang County.
Continuous heavy rains have caused river banks to burst and floods to pour down, seriously threatening the lives and property safety of people in Linjiang County.
Officers and soldiers of a certain unit stationed not far from Linjiang County received orders from their superiors and rushed to Linjiang County to participate in flood fighting and rescue operations.
Among them, three officers and soldiers were swept away by the raging floods while fighting floods and eventually died.
Later, in order to commend their heroic deeds, the provincial government rated these three officers and soldiers as martyrs.
Fang Yu, Ning Weijun, Du Shouhua.
The names and photos of the three martyrs looked so glorious on the white walls.
And when Du Yan came to the front of this wall, he couldn't bear it anymore.
