Martyrs memorial site reopens
Print Edition
The Longhua Martyr Memorial Site opened to the public yesterday after an upgrade and expansion.
The site, a key part of Longhua Martyr Cemetery in Xuhui District, comprises the prison, gatehouse and guardroom of the former Songhu Garrison Command, and the Execution Ground of martyrs.
Between 1927 and 1937, a large number of members of the Communist Party of China were openly or secretly killed by Kuomintang reactionaries at the site.
The Execution Ground was outside the memorial site, calling for an expansion which was initiated by Shanghai Party Secretary Li Qiang during a visit to the cemetery in June last year.
The project aimed to connect the memorial site with the execution ground, and so a boulevard, a pavilion and two squares were built. The project was completed last month. The stories of martyrs are told, allowing visitors to follow their footprints and experience the city鈥檚 revolutionary past.
The site was unveiled as a 鈥渞ed culture promotion venue鈥 of China yesterday, when a seminar was held, gathering staff from more than 40 red culture venues nationwide.
