On August 23, 1884, a fierce Sino-French naval battle broke out on the MinJiang River next to the Mawei Luoxing Pagoda Park in Fuzhou, Fujian Province.
Due to the corruption and incompetence of the Qing government, coupled with the greedy and fearful fear of death and cowardice of a group of cowardly generals Zhang Peilun, Inspector Zhang Zhaodong, Governor He Zhang, Minister of Shipping He Ruzhang, fleet commander and flagship pipe belt Zhang Cheng, and so on, the battle ended in the fiasco of our sailors, and now Luoxing Pagoda Park has been selected as one of the top ten ancient banyan trees in Fujian, and is a witness to the history of the humiliation of the country.
History was created by the people, as evidenced by the Battle of Majiang. At that time, the upper echelons of the marine division had no bloodless greed and fear of death, and the lower soldiers had already ignited a fiery anger, they fought, regarded death as a homecoming, preferred to die unyieldingly, although defeated and honored, more than 700 soldiers were sacrificed in this battle, as evidenced by the Zhaozhong Ancestral Hall and the Tomb of Zhong bone.
The sun and moon mourn the souls of the heroes, and the green mountains bury loyal bones.
The past does not forget the teacher of the future, let history tell the future, the country is strong, and the husband has the responsibility. After knowing the shame, the alarm bell will always sound!
