In 1941, the "Eight Hundred Heroes" who insisted on the Sihang Warehouse had been trapped in the "Lone Army Camp" near Jiaozhou Park in the Shanghai concession for more than three years. During this period, Xie Jinyuan led the "Eight Hundred Heroes" to still adhere to the national integrity, insisted on going out every day, raising the flag, and the loud military trumpet encouraged the anti-Japanese belief of the people on the isolated island of Shanghai. For the Japanese and the pseudo, the existence of Xie Jinyuan is undoubtedly a major problem, in order to eliminate this anti-Japanese fire, the Japanese decided to black hand To Xie Jinyuan after many high-ranking officials Houlu Luli did not succeed.
At 5:00 a.m. on April 24, Xie Jinyuan led the officers and men out of the morning exercise according to the usual practice. The poisonous hands of the traitors Hao Jingcheng, Zhang Wenqing, You Yaoliang, and Zhang Guoshun, who were suddenly bribed by the Japanese, were stabbed twice in the chest by Hao Jingcheng with a three-sided bayonet, and immediately fell to the ground. After Xie Jinyuan fell to the ground, the other three accomplices saw that Xie Jinyuan did not die on the spot, and let Hao Jingcheng stab Xie Jinyuan three times in the temple, throat and heart. Xie Jinyuan, the national hero killed in the Battle of Songhu, died tragically at the hands of four traitor scum, and finally Chinese New Year's Eve seven years old.
All the officers and men of the Lone Army Camp saw xie Jinyuan being poisoned by this poison, and while holding the body and crying bitterly, they rushed to the four traitors in anger and rushed to the four traitors to beat them to death on the spot. Armed with murder weapons and iron pickaxes, the four traitors resisted and were eventually escorted from the officers and men by White Russian guards who had entered the lone camp with guns, and escaped being killed on the spot. However, later, the dream of these four traitors to become rich was not realized, and they were all sentenced to death by the concession court, leaving a shameful end in the wilderness of violent corpses.
As soon as the news of Xie Jinyuan's assassination by traitors came out, the people of the concession near the lonely army camp came to inquire, and when they saw Xie Jinyuan's tragic situation, everyone cried bitterly and did not want to leave for a long time.
In the end, Xie Jinyuan's body was scrubbed and dressed by the funeral home staff and embalmed. Xie Jinyuan's coffin is made of a single mahogany, with a glass soft lid buckled in the middle to facilitate people to admire the remains.
On the day of Xie Jinyuan's burial, the road near the entire lonely army camp was crowded with people, and vehicles could not pass at all, so people consciously lined up to enter the spiritual hall, bowed to Xie Jinyuan's body, and walked around the coffin to look around. According to reports at the time, more than 100,000 people went to mourn Xie Jinyuan on the day of the funeral. The platoon commanders of the officers and men of the lonely camp took turns to guard Xie Jinyuan's spirit, while the soldiers were responsible for the sentry and order maintenance of the camp to avoid the ulterior motives of the Japanese and the hypocrites who came to make trouble.
Xie Jinyuan's body was parked in the lone army camp for more than two weeks, but due to the war and traffic conditions at that time, Xie Jinyuan's family was never able to go to Shanghai. At this time, the body had begun to decay, and the funeral committee decided to hold a memorial service for burial on the same day.

In the center is the inscription of Lin Sen, chairman of the National Government, "Firm and loyal", and on both sides of the statue is Chiang Kai-shek's "Hard-working Yacheng Ren, The Blood of the Lonely Island; The heroic soul should not be lost, and from now on roar angrily at the tide of the Pu River. "He Yingqin, Zhu Jiahua, Gu Zhutong, Wu Kaixian, Wu Shaoshu, and so on were also sent to bring the link, and they hung the entire spiritual hall layer by layer.
At the memorial service on May 11, the moderator asked everyone to observe a three-minute silence. The whole spirit hall inside and outside the hall wept bitterly, and the thought of Xie Jinyuan, who had been killed and killed because he refused to apostasy, couldn't help but feel sad. The entire memorial service ended in a cry of pain. Throughout Xie Jinyuan's funeral, a total of 300,000 people participated.
