In Yuhuatai, the story of the martyr Lilac is well known.
Lilac was originally an abandoned baby, born in Changshu, Suzhou in 1910, and named "White Lilac" after being adopted.
During her studies at Soochow University, Lilac and her classmates were acquainted with each other and fell in love with each other.
In 1932, not long after Lilac and Le Yuhong got married, they were arrested when they went to Peiping to perform a secret mission and died in the same year.
Due to the sinister environment of the underground struggle, the couple never took a group photo before their lives.
Until 2009, Le Yuhong's family discovered this photo while renovating the old house, and donated it to Yuhuatai Martyrs Memorial Hall in 2010.
