On October 28, Chen Mingren's grandsons Chen Xiangsheng and Chen Jingsheng went to the Jinji Luyu Revolution Memorial Garden to pay respects to General Zuo Quan. Yang Junling, secretary of the party committee of the martyrs' cemetery, Wang Handansheng, deputy director of the martyrs' cemetery, and relevant staff members accompanied the whole process.
In front of the tomb of General Zuo Quan, everyone stood solemnly, observed a moment of silence, bowed, and paid high respect and deep remembrance to General Zuo Quan, the highest general of the Eighth Route Army who died during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression. Subsequently, the docent led everyone to visit the Zuo Quan General Memorial Hall and the Martyrs' Memorial Hall to learn more about the heroic deeds of General Zuo Quan, Li Qingyun, Chai Hongru, Ye Chenghuan and other heroic martyrs buried in our garden.
