After the Russo-Japanese War, "to comfort the heroic spirits of the dead, they were passed down from generation to generation." In order to commemorate the undeads of 24,446 people in the Nagu Temple and promote war, the Japanese colonial authorities built a tall memorial tower t

During the Japanese colonial rule, the Baiyushan Scenic Area of ​​Lushun was a "famous place" among many attractions in Lushun. All Japanese people who come to Lushun for sightseeing and tourism are indispensable. At that time, if you come to Lushun and don’t climb Baiyu Mountain, it means you haven’t arrived in Lushun. After checking the old historical photos, most of the people who took commemorative photos under the Tower of Biaozhong are Japanese. Recently, I found a few old photos in the old building complex in Lushun chatting, which are completely exceptions. They are photos taken by senior generals, officers, families and soldiers of the Soviet Red Army stationed in Lushun under the Tower of Piaozhong.

The car in the photo is a special car of senior Soviet generals. I wonder what they are talking about when they are concentrated under the tower? Maybe they decided to demolish the tower, but because the technical conditions at that time were not met, they had to wipe out the three words "Ping Zhong Tower" to vent their anger. This is how the later " Baiyu Pagoda " was created. After using it for many years, I felt that this name was inappropriate and it meant praise. Finally, I decided to have a very neutral name - " Baiyu Mountain Tower ".

Russian War was a shame for the Russian army, but for the Soviet Red Army that defeated the Japanese Kwantung Army and entered Lushun, it was avenge for the predecessors. You see the expressions of the senior generals who were marching under the tower, which is completely a victorious posture.

This photo is taken by Soviet military officers and their families under the tower. The youngest child in the middle of the front row is also an old man. If this film was taken in 1945, the child would be an octogenarian.

This is a Soviet navy soldier taking a photo under the tower.

I wonder which netizen has such an old photo in his hand? Instead of reading it alone, it is better for everyone to appreciate it together.

Thanks to Hongru Shuofu, thanks to Lushun for chatting about the old building complex.
