History has its own life, it is like a person, both easy-going and self-respecting. ——Yu Qiuyu
On July 7, 1937, Japanese imperialism launched an all-out war of aggression against China here. The Chinese garrison stationed at Wanping City rose up to resist, known in history as the "Lugou Bridge Incident" (also known as the "July 7 Incident"). The Chinese anti-Japanese army fired the first shot of the all-out war of resistance at the Lugou Bridge. Since then, the Chinese nation's "Kuomintang-Communist cooperation and unanimous external" all-round war of resistance has begun.
The wind and the sun are beautiful, the beauty and perseverance coexist, the scenery is picturesque, this is the great rivers and mountains of my China.
On the night of July 7, 1937, the Japanese garrison at Lugou Bridge, without informing the local Chinese authorities, held a so-called military exercise near the Chinese garrison position, falsely claiming that a Japanese soldier was missing and asking to enter the county town of Wanping (now Lugou Bridge Town) southwest of Beiping to search, and the Chinese defenders refused this unreasonable request. The Japanese army actually began to attack the Chinese garrison, and the officers of the 219th Regiment of the 37th Division of the 29th Army of the Chinese Garrison rose up to fight back and put up stubborn resistance.
In the face of this unprecedented national peril, the Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army, the Volunteer Army, the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army, and even patriotic bandits all joined the just war to save the national crisis.
In June of the sixteenth year of the Southern Song Dynasty (1189), the Lugou Bridge was built. On March 11, 1192 (April 24, 1192), the Lugou Bridge was completed. Jin Zhangzong named it "Guangli", and because it crossed the Lugou River (that is, the Yongding River), it was renamed Lugou Bridge. The dusk of the Lugou Bridge is beautiful and suffocating.
Every year, people come to Lugou Bridge to commemorate it. Remember history and cherish peace.
The evening scene is still quiet and tranquil, and it is as if you are wandering in the arms of your mother.
Due to the damage caused by the war, in 1986, the Lugou Bridge Historical Relics Restoration Committee was established with the purpose of restoring the original appearance of the Lugou Bridge. On July 17, 2017, the stone lion of Lugou Bridge built a digital archive, and the panorama presented Lugou Bridge.
The stone lion on the Lugou Bridge is majestic and majestic, full of historical heaviness.
The history of Lugou Bridge has been inherited, and in modern times, China has become prosperous and strong, and the national heroes who have resisted foreign aggression for generations can be pleased. But we should not forget the history of the Chinese nation in which the Chinese nation can sing and cry about defending the homeland. Strive for the motherland to be more prosperous and strong!
