    Overview

    The Kuantang Martyrs Monument of The Red Army (宽塘红军烈士纪念碑) is a significant site for red tourism, located in Kuantang Village (宽塘村), Yingshang Town (营上镇), Fuyuan County (富源县), Qujing (曲靖), Yunnan Province (云南省).

    Historical Background

    In April 1935, the Red First Front Army (红一方面军) passed through this area during the Long March (长征). Near Kuantang Village, fierce battles occurred at Xiaoyingkouzi (小营口子) against the Yunnan Army (滇军) led by General An Enpu (安恩溥), resulting in the sacrifice of 41 Red Army soldiers (红军战士). After the battle, local villager Yin Shichang (尹石昌) and others carried the remains of these martyrs to an abandoned mine at Huoshidishan (火石地山) in Kuantang Village for a concentrated burial.

    To honor the memory of these heroes, the Fuyuan County government established the monument in July 2007 and renovated the Red Army Martyrs' graves, reminding future generations to love their country.

    Monument Details

    The Kuantang Martyrs Monument is situated facing east in Kuantang Village, Yingshang Town, Fuyuan County. The original burial site was at an abandoned mine, where the monument was erected in July 2007. The memorial comprises the monument itself, commemorative inscriptions, and the martyrs' graves.

    This monument commemorates the 41 Red Army soldiers who sacrificed their lives during the battle near Kuantang Village. The burial mound is approximately 2.4 meters high.

    • The base of the monument includes inscriptions detailing the construction of the monument, with a flame relief on the north side, and reliefs of a pistol, ribbon, grenade, and water bottle on the south side.
