The Red History of Panshan Mountain
Author:
Red culture is a defining feature of Panshan’s cultural heritage. Panshan is a mountain steeped in a glorious revolutionary tradition; during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, the people of Panshan waged fierce, bloody battles against the Japanese invaders, making significant contributions to the war effort. According to statistics, throughout the war, more than 20 cadres at the county‑level and above, and over 200 cadres at the district‑level and above, were sacrificed in the Panshan base area. They defended this stronghold with their lives and blood, enabling the Panshan Anti‑Japanese Base Area to expand into a vast region encompassing 12 districts, 1,220 villages, and a population of 518,000, thereby delivering a severe blow to the arrogance and aggression of Japanese imperialism.
At present, Panshan preserves 17 sites of anti-Japanese resistance and eight stone inscriptions bearing anti-Japanese slogans, serving as valuable tangible educational resources for instilling patriotism and revolutionary heroism among young people. To honor the martyrs and set an example for future generations, in 1957 the Jixian People’s Government constructed the largest martyrdom cemetery in eastern Hebei—Panshan Martyrs’ Cemetery—where the remains of 2,596 martyrs who fell during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Liberation War, the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, and other periods were collectively interred and commemorated with tombstones. In 1991, Panshan Martyrs’ Cemetery was designated by the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee as one of the nation’s 100 patriotic education bases.
