The country's largest martyrs cemetery: a tombstone, ushered in a "father" who was 80 years late! "The loyal bones are buried everywhere in the green hills, why not return the horse leather corpse." Over 80 years, a belated "father"!
Soldiers are a protective wall of the country! It is precisely because of their existence that we have a happy and peaceful life now. They are the most respected people in our hearts! They entered the army for so many years, swaying their youth and blood for the revolutionary cause! Even at his own life! In order to allow them to rest in peace after their deaths, cemeteries of martyrs have been built in many parts of the country. Today I want to talk about the largest Red Army martyrs cemetery in the country: a tombstone, ushered in a "father" who was 80 years late!
This Red Army Martyrs Cemetery is the "Wangping Martyrs Cemetery", later renamed the "Sichuan-Shanxi Revolutionary Base Red Army Martyrs Cemetery". It is located in Tongjiang County, Sichuan Province. Why is it the largest in the country? Because it is the country's largest cemetery with the most martyrs buried. There are 25,048 martyrs sleeping here, of which 17,225 are unnamed and no one comes to recognize their relatives. There are many martyrs whose names are just nicknames.
The 17225 white marble unknown monuments, like 17225 soldiers lined up, cover the entire hillside in a fan shape, which is extremely shocking when viewed from below! There is a word on the tombstone, only a dazzling five-pointed star, shining in the sun.
At that time, in 1934, the Red Army General Hospital was transferred to Wangping Village and was responsible for receiving the wounded who retreated from the front line. At the worst, there were as many as a thousand wounded! However, the medical conditions of our army at that time were very limited. Thousands of soldiers could not survive it... Now it has already become a red tourist attraction for the people of the whole country to come to pay their respects and mourn.
In 2011, an 83-year-old man named Wu Fangyi came to the cemetery with his relatives to recognize relatives. His father's name was Wu Zhan. He was the Chief of Staff of the 10th Division of the Red Army. He and many senior leaders were classmates. Unfortunately, he was killed unjustly in 1933.Only 33 years old! The wife at home once lost his news, and Wu Fangyi never met his father. Where did he die? Where is it buried? His wife Peng Jingqiu knew nothing but received a martyrs certificate...
Until 2010, Wu Fangyi's granddaughter saw a picture of Wu Zhan's tombstone on the Internet, which made Wu Fangyi very excited! I quickly called my relatives and rushed to the Martyrs Cemetery from Beijing. Looking at the marble tombstone, all relatives are extremely sad! The old man Wu Fangyi with white temples had already burst into tears. He held the tombstone tightly and yelled softly: "Father"! A "father" who was late for 80 years touched everyone present...
