Approaching this solemn and sacred place, an ivory miter gate facing south is awe-inspiring. Above the gate, six golden characters of Shuyang Martyrs Cemetery shine in the sun. On both sides of the gate, there is a couplet-style black marble engraved with the poem of calligrapher Jiang Hua Mao Zedong: Dare to teach the sun and the moon to change the sky as a sacrifice.

The cemetery is 250 meters long from north to south and 120 meters wide from east to west, covering an area of 40 mu. When it was first built, there were only three tombs of martyrs in the park. After three expansions (1963, 1975, 1985), there are now many memorial buildings in the cemetery, such as memorial towers, monuments, memorial pavilions, exhibition halls of martyrs' historical sites, etc. The mausoleum of the martyr Wu Lingsheng is located on the same central axis of the Monument to the People's Heroes, 30 meters north. The tomb is circular, and a 4-meter-high marble monument stands in front of the tomb. This monument was established by Shuyang County Party Committee and Shuyang County People's Committee in June 1963.

In order to inherit the legacy of revolutionary martyrs and promote the construction of two civilizations,1In April 1994, the Shuyang County Party Committee and Shuyang County Government placed two statues of martyrs of Wu Lingsheng in the North Park of the county seat and the National Defense Park of the Youth Square of the county seat, in order to pay tribute to them forever. Not far north of the Monument to the People's Heroes, 30 meters east and west of the central axis of the cemetery, two octagonal memorial pavilions are symmetrically built. Four martyrs' monuments were erected in the Northwest Pavilion. These four monuments were moved from Chengbei Park by 1985 with the consent of the county party committee and government. They are Tang Shuhong Martyrs Monument, head of the third regiment of the Eighth Route Army Longhai Nanjin Detachment of the National Revolutionary Army, Song Yaonan and Sun Dongchu Martyrs Monument, and Mingjiu Martyrs Monument, head of the seventh regiment of Huaihai Military Division.

In the early days of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, under the leadership of China Production Party, the Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Force and China National Liberation Pioneer were organized successively. On this basis, in April of 1939, the third regiment of the Eighth Route Army's Longhai Southward Detachment was established as the head of the detachment and launched a vigorous anti-Japanese struggle. Wulihuai ambushed the Japanese army and won the first battle, which greatly inspired the people of Dongguan Tree to fight against the Japanese aggressors. Just as this young revolutionary armed force was thriving, Tang Shuhong was unfortunately killed by the Kuomintang die-hards. Although he lived only 24 years old, he was like a shining star in the night sky, forever reflected in the hearts of the broad masses of the people.
In Xibeiting, there are two monuments, which are engraved with the eulogy of Guang Jian Jin Ping and Wei Zhen Tong Hai respectively, expressing the people's reverence and love for Song Yaonan and Sun Dongchu, two heroic leaders. 1In July, 943, Song Yaonan, head of the 7th Regiment of the 3rd detachment of Huaihai Military Division, personally took command at the front line during the siege of the Japanese-puppet stronghold in Sangxu. Unfortunately, he was seriously injured and died at the age of 30. To commemorate the martyrs, Huaihai Administrative Office decided to change Yili District into Yaonan District; Sun Dongchu, who took over as the head of the Seventh Regiment, died heroically in the battle of Cai Zhuang in August of the same year. In just one month, my seventh regiment sacrificed two heads, which profoundly showed the cruelty of war and the hard-won victory of revolution!
In the East Monument Pavilion, four martyrs' monuments are also erected. They are inscriptions commemorating the 1 16 martyrs who died in the war of liberation and the seven heroes on the Chami River. 1 16 martyrs monument, which says 1946 10.

In order to permanently commemorate the heroic spirit, 1954 in September, in the place where the martyrs died that year, the 1 16 martyrs memorial pavilion was established; 1978, Shuyang County People's Government rebuilt the Martyrs Pavilion in Qian Ji. 1985, the Xerox Tree Monument was rebuilt in the newly-built Northeast Pavilion in Shuyang Martyrs Cemetery, which was modeled after the stone tablet and inscription of 1 16 martyrs. The Seven Monuments to Heroes and Heroes are: 1947 June 16 Chen Ling. More than 400 Kuomintang troops and the Home Returning Corps surrounded my residence in Zhongwan Township, Shuyang, in an attempt to destroy my hometown, village cadres and model teams. When the enemy was strong and we were weak, and the numbers were far from equal, Comrade 17, headed by Zhang Jiexing, a township instructor, overcame the difficulties and repelled the enemy nine times and killed more than 20 people. In the bloody battle, Jason and other seven people died heroically. In order to express the memory of heroes, the Sixth National Congress of Central China at that time called for the study of seven heroes in the whole region, and ratified Zhang Jiexing as a model party member in Central China. In March, Shuyang County People's Government laid a monument for the seven heroes.

At present, there are 100 kinds of flowers and trees in the cemetery, which not only beautifies the environment, but also increases the economic income of the cemetery. Outside the garden, there is a newly-built exhibition hall for revolutionary martyrs behind the cemetery, which has a classical national style, cornices and arches, and purple glazed tiles. Shuyang is an old revolutionary base area, with 4,350 revolutionary martyrs killed in each revolutionary period. The life stories of 25 martyrs and 43 portraits of martyrs are displayed here, as well as revolutionary cultural relics such as the inscription by Chu Tunan, former vice chairman of the National People's Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC), for the revolutionary martyr Wu Lingsheng, who devoted himself to the people and was infinitely loyal to the revolution. Among the portraits of martyrs, the portrait of a female revolutionary is the most striking.

The enemy took her to the collection point and tortured her. She is indomitable, seduced by money status, and she has not wavered. The enemy was helpless and killed her cruelly. She was 18 years old when she died.
