It is divided into a prologue hall and six parts. From the time when the Chinese nation was facing unprecedented danger and the Japanese invaders launched a full-scale war of aggression against China in 1937, our party led the People’s Army to cross the Yellow River eastward to the Anti-Japanese Front Line, the first draw and the tie-in pass. Eight years of bloody battles, on August 15, 1945, Japan announced its unconditional surrender. This magnificent historical fact was fully narrated.

So the first point is that Wuxiang’s geographical location is very special. We have always said that “people who can be in the party look to the Central Plains”. From a military strategic point of view, choosing to station in Wuxiang is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Then the second point is that the western area of Wuxiang has vast agricultural land.
The third point, and I think the most important point, is that our mass foundation is particularly good.
[Explanation] "The mountains and mountains are buried with loyal bones, and the mountains and mountains are monuments" is a true portrayal of Wuxiang.

Although decades have passed since the end of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the strong military and civilian fish and water conditions left over from that year can be felt everywhere.
At that time, a central art group called "Heart to Heart" came into our memorial hall for a performance of condolences. At that time, there were a lot of fellow villagers onlookers. When the host of Dong Qing said that it is Marshal Liu Bocheng's son (and others) who are on the stage now. At the time, the fellow suddenly burst into applause and shouts. If you were at the scene, you would almost be moved to tears.

I deeply felt the spirit of the revolutionary ancestors who threw their heads and shed their blood, and sacrificed everything for the new China, which greatly baptized my spirit.
