The Monument, a pentagon structure, stands 13.1m high. The number stands for 130,000 martyrs that sacrificed their lives for the revolution. The northern part of the tower bears the motto written by Zhu De, one of the leaders of the party and government, “Eternal life to the revolutionary martyrs!” There are inscriptions of other figures such as Xu Shiyou, Wu Zhipu, Liu Mingbang, and so on. |
