The story of \u738b\u5bb6\u53f0\u70c8\u58eb\u9675\u56ed begins in 1938. The Communist Party’s troops advanced into Pingxi. They faced a sudden attack. Over fifty young soldiers died at Wangjiatai Village.
In 1939, a memorial was erected. The Communist Party committee honored the martyrs. A stele was raised. It bore the inscription “Light of the Nation.” Wang Jinsheng wrote the epitaph. Post-liberation, the tomb was protected. Walls were built. It became \u738b\u5bb6\u53f0\u70c8\u58eb\u9675\u56ed.
The cemetery’s entrance is a paifang. Its design resembles a soaring roc. This represents the spirit of the young revolutionaries. Mao Zedong’s calligraphy is etched on the paifang. It reads: “Youthful vigor, blood boils like raging fire. Lofty aspirations, sing praises to the red flag of China.”
Ninety-five stone steps lead to the main gate. This ascent inspires reverence. It creates a sense of solemnity. Below lies the clear waters of Hanqing Lake. The lake reflects the green pines. This symbolizes the martyrs’ eternal glory.

Consider the paifang’s inscription as you leave. Remember the sacrifices made. Let the memory of these heroes inspire us. They remind us of the price of peace.
