Yanzhao Metropolis News (reporter Shi Yuan) recently published information on many martyrs who died in the Battle of Pingjin. The reporter contacted Toutiao's "Searching for Descendants of Martyrs" project team and learned that many martyrs who died in the Battle of Pingjin were from Shijiazhuang. Subsequently, the reporter compiled relevant information, hoping to find out the deeds of the martyrs who sacrificed their lives in the Battle of Pingjin through reports, and at the same time find the descendants of these martyrs so that the souls of the martyrs can "go home."
It is understood that the Battle of Peking and Tianjin was the last of the three decisive battles in the War of Liberation. It started on November 29, 1948 and ended on January 31, 1949. It lasted 64 days and liberated Peiping and Tianjin. large areas of North China. From then on, the victory of the War of Liberation throughout the country was basically determined. In this battle, 7,030 PLA soldiers gave their precious lives.
"Every martyr is a history written in blood." Wang Peijun, general branch secretary and director of the Pingjin Campaign Memorial Hall, said that the memorial hall was established to let people understand how today's happy life came about and what sacrifices New China made through , at what cost, understand the historical meaning of "never forget the original intention and keep the mission in mind". In the 22 years since its opening, the memorial hall has never stopped searching for relatives of martyrs. However, due to many factors such as too much time apart, incomplete information about the martyrs, and changes in administrative divisions, the memorial hall still has no contact with the descendants of more than 5,000 martyrs. "We hope that through this event, we can find more descendants of the martyrs, unearth the deeds of the martyrs, and let more people feel the power of the revolutionary martyrs and the red spirit. If there are clues, we will use oral history, cultural relic collection, tracking, and interviews and other forms to expand the influence of red culture.”
According to data, a total of 16 martyrs from Shijiazhuang died in the Battle of Pingjin, the oldest of whom was 39 years old, and the youngest was only 20 years old. Due to various factors, their information is incomplete. We hope that relevant people can provide clues (tel: 0311-88620000) to help the martyrs find their relatives.
