Yu Peilun (1886–1911) was a late Qing dynasty democratic revolutionary of Han ethnicity and a native of Neijiang City, Sichuan Province. Guangxu studied in Japan for thirty-one years, and joined the League in thirty-four years. He specialized in chemistry, developed bombs, organized assassination missions, and plotted unsuccessfully to assassinate Duan Fang, the governor of Liangjiang, and Zaifeng, the regent. In the spring of 1911, under the leadership of Huang Xing, he accompanied Lin Juemin, Fang Shengdong and other revolutionaries to invade the Guangdong Governor's Office, and after being captured, he calmly took justice at the age of 25, and was one of the seventy-two martyrs of Huanghuagang.
The Memorial Hall of General Yu Peilun is located in neijiang People's Park and was built in 1985. The memorial is a masonry structure, sitting north to south, consisting of three halls and two rooms. The main hall has a height of 8 meters, a side hall of 5.5 meters, a construction area of 332 square meters, covers an area of 4,000 square meters, and a glazed tile slope antique roof on both sides. The memorial is hidden in the park's pines and cypresses, and a large number of photos and physical materials are displayed in the museum, which details the heroic and fearless life of Yu Peilun.
Many years ago, I visited the Memorial Hall of General Yu Peilun for the first time in Neijiang, and today I revisit the Memorial Hall of General Yu Peilun with a feeling of reverence. Entering the park gate, you will see the memorial hall, and approach the stone wall in front of the memorial hall with the inscription of Sun Yat-sen on it, "Haoqi Eternal Survival".
Walking past the stone wall of "Magnificent Spirit and Eternal Survival", you will be greeted by the Monument to General Yu Peilun and the Memorial Hall of General Yu Peilun.
The Monument to General Yu Peilun was built in 1981, sitting north and facing south, made of rectangular Han white jade, with a height of 3.3 meters, a height of 2.2 meters, a width of 1.2 meters, and a thickness of 0.38 meters. The seat is a terrazzo-faced Sumiya seat, 1.9 meters long, 1 meter wide and 1.07 meters high. The inscription is written by the famous calligrapher Yu Zhongying in the country "Monument to The Great General Yu Peilun of the Huanghuagang Martyrs of the Xinhai Guangzhou Uprising", with a diameter of 0.25 meters.

The martyr Yu Peilun wrote the most magnificent chapter for the bourgeois democratic revolution with his revolutionary practice. The sacrifices of Yu Peilun and other martyrs dealt a heavy blow to and shaken the reactionary rule of the Qing Dynasty. His revolutionary spirit greatly stimulated the revolutionary will of the people of the whole country and sounded a mighty and majestic prelude to the Xinhai Revolution. After the founding of the Republic of China, Sun Yat-sen affirmed Yu Peilun's martyr spirit: "the spirit of the wind and thunder, the three-day bloody battle, and the courage to destroy", the Nanjing government headed by Sun Yat-sen posthumously awarded the martyr Yu Peilun as a great general, and established the Yu General Ancestral Hall in his hometown of Neijiang County, Sichuan. Comrade Wu Yuzhang, an old revolutionary predecessor and a guide for Yu Peilun to participate in the revolution, praised Yu Peilun as "worthy of being an immortal national hero who has been passed down through the ages" when commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution.
