Revolutionary sites with a red history (16)
    2021-07-06  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

DURING the Chinese People’s War of Liberation, the Kuomintang triggered battles in Guangdong to eliminate troops led by the Communist Party of China (CPC). In February 1947, the Huidongbao People’s Guarding Regiment was founded to fight against the Kuomintang. The Jiangnan Detachment of the regiment organized three battles in Shayuchong, Shanzixia and Honghualing in today’s Longgang District in July and August 1948.

In memory of the great achievements of revolutionary martyrs in Longgang, the 18.6-meter-tall Longgang People’s Revolutionary Martyrs Monument was erected in the Honghualing Revolutionary Memorial Park in 2004. The names of 542 revolutionary martyrs during the Nationalist Revolution, the Agrarian Revolutionary War, the Chinese People’s War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Chinese People’s War of Liberation, the Socialist Revolution and Socialist Construction had been inscribed.

Also in Longgang, the Dongjiangchao Red Culture Museum built in 2019 houses more than 2,000 items including 300 revolutionary items, such as documents, publications, albums, badges and weapons, covering the time period from the May Fourth Movement in 1919 to the founding of the People’s Republic of China in 1949.

A hall in the museum takes inspiration from the iconic Central Auditorium in Yan’an, a former revolutionary base of the CPC, making use of the arched structure of cave dwellings to give the hall a sense of prestige.
