The Place Where Martyr Ma Shitu Was Murdered is located at the northern part of the central urban area of Qiqihar City, in the yard of Qiqihar City No.2 Hospital.
It was an independent lofty house before, which was built in the end of Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, with a building area of 357㎡. It was once the dormitory of Chairman Yu Yifu of Nenjiang Provincial Government in December 1945. The reactionary officer Zhao Yueshan of Kuomintang sneaked into the yard together with his accomplice, some secret agents from the Bureau of Investigation and Statistics of the Military Council of Kuomintang, late at night on December 24, 1945 and intended to assassinate Chairman Yu Yifu, but mistakenly broke into the room of the Acting Secretary General Ma Shitu of Nenjiang Provincial Government. Ma Shitu bravely fought back to shield his leader and comrade in arms and died courageously while only 42 years old.
Qiqihar Municipal Government designated this place where the martyr was murdered as The Municipal Level Cultural Relic Protection Unit and the Patriotic Education Base, in order to commemorate the martyr and educate the offsprings. |
