From 1933 to 1935, the Red Fourth Front Army fought in Langzhong for three years, and more than 20,000 outstanding sons and daughters of Langzhong joined the Red Army. In Langzhong, they launched a large-scale campaign against the three-way siege, the six-way siege and the forced crossing of Jialing River. More than 8,000 registered Red Army martyrs died heroically. The history forged by the martyrs with their loyalty, blood and life has left us with extremely precious spiritual wealth, which is worth cherishing and commemorating forever.
