The prototype of "Gaojiazhuang" in the film "Tunnel Warfare"-Ran Zhuang Tunnel Warfare Site in Qingyuan County, Hebei Province, was approved by the relevant departments and became the first national ethnic and religious patriotism education base.
Ran Zhuang is one of the hundred revolutionary traditional education bases in China, with a glorious revolutionary historical tradition. During the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the industrious and intelligent people in central Hebei waged an arduous struggle with the Japanese invaders. Starting from 1938, they dug tunnels and built the underground Great Wall nearly 16 kilometers long, killing more than 2 100 people successively. After liberation, tunnel warfare sites have successively become the first batch of key cultural relics protection units in China, the national patriotic education demonstration base, the national youth education base, the national defense education center and the moral education base.
Ran Zhuang Tunnel Warfare Site receives tourists from all over the world every year, especially the number of tourists grows rapidly, reaching tens of thousands every year. In order to further develop its patriotic education function, with the approval of relevant departments, Ran Zhuang Tunnel Warfare Site became the first patriotic education base for ethnic and religious groups in China. In the future, people from ethnic and religious circles will be organized to visit and educate here in a planned way to stimulate their enthusiasm for patriotism and love of religion, further promote the adaptation of religion to socialist society and promote all-round economic and social development.
