Dedicated staff at martyrs鈥 cemetery
Print Edition
CUI Qicheng and his wife started work at the Jiading Cemetery of Revolutionary Martyrs in 2006 after finding it would provide accommodation as they lived an unstable life before as migrant workers. They have now been there for eight years.
“Whenever I hear from relatives or brothers in arms say the environment here is kept clean and tidy, I am extremely happy,” Cui said.
One of the couple’s major responsibilities is to guard the cemetery.
“On hearing some reports that the ashes of martyrs have been stolen in other parts of China there, we patrol 24 hours a day,” Cui said.
“When we came to the cemetery eight years ago, I was so scared to be walking around at night, but now taking a walk in the cemetery after dinner has become a habit,” he added.
Que Guohua has been working at the cemetery for 35 years. At the beginning of the 1990s, the cemetery was relocated and Que and five colleagues had to dig up the urns, label and register them.
They transported the urns with a pedal tricycle. “I was not willing to let trucks transport the urns and wanted to ensure they were safe,” Que said.
