The green mountains bury loyal bones, and flowers are sacrificed to the heroic spirits. In order to strengthen the management and protection of scattered martyrs' memorial facilities and solidly promote the special action for the protection of martyrs' memorial facilities, on December 10, Zhanyi District held a ceremony for the relocation and burial of the remains of martyrs in the scattered martyrs' tombs, and moved the two scattered martyrs' tombs to the Zhanyi Martyrs Cemetery for centralized burial, unified protection management and commemoration. Representatives of the District Veterans Affairs Bureau, Huashan, Jinlong Street, Bole Township and the relatives of the martyrs attended the ceremony.
At 10:00 a.m., with the low and gentle "Song of Remembrance" sounding, under the cover of flowers, the remains of the two martyrs were uniformly placed on the spiritual platform, pinning the infinite admiration and mourning of the vast number of cadres and the masses for the martyrs. Subsequently, the coffins of the martyrs were moved to the burial area under the escort of family members and staff.
Every martyr is a vivid teaching material, and every martyrs' cemetery is a treasure trove of red genes. Li Jinhua and Xu Rongting, two martyrs, died heroically during the period of socialist construction, and they sacrificed their precious lives for the great cause of building a modern socialist country and composed a song of heroic praise.
Zhanyi is the birthplace of the Pearl River, belongs to the old revolutionary area (county), is the rear base during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the early activity of the underground party of the COMMUNISTs, during the Long March period, the Red Army and the Red Second Front Army twice passed through Zhanyi, spreading the revolutionary fire, with the outbreak of the "Ninth Five-Year" anti-Chiang Kai-shek armed uprising, it ignited a revolutionary beacon on the banks of the Nanpan River and quickly formed a burning trend in Yunnan Guiqian, and the weather for carrying out revolutionary struggle in northeast Yunnan was also new.
During the years of revolutionary war and the period of socialist construction, countless people with lofty ideals sacrificed their precious lives. Due to the limited conditions at that time, some martyrs could only be buried on the spot after they died, so scattered martyrs' tombs were formed. Since the launch of the special action for the renovation of heroes and martyrs' memorial facilities at the county level and below in the province, in order to further inherit and carry forward the heroic spirit and do a good job in the management and protection of martyrs' memorial facilities, the Veterans Affairs Bureau of Zhanyi District has taken active actions to steadily promote the relocation and burial of scattered martyrs' tombs. The scattered burial of martyrs' tombs will be relocated to the Zhanyi Martyrs' Cemetery for unified management and protection, and the important red resources of the Martyrs' Cemetery will be protected, managed and used well with heart and soul, so as to facilitate the people's admiration and memorialization, so that more people can learn the deeds of the heroic martyrs and continuously draw the strength to forge ahead from the great spirit of the heroic martyrs.
