Chongqing Red Culture Tour-Bai Gongguan

"The blood of the martyrs is spilled across the country,

The pine forest is sobbing and people stand in awe,

The heroes will be remembered forever in history."

July 2020 At 9 a.m. on the 13th, the "Red Squad" practical research team of Anhui University of Finance and Economics came to the Bai Gongguan, a revolutionary site in Gele Mountain, Chongqing. By visiting the ruins of the Anti-Japanese War heroes, you can gain an in-depth understanding of the history of the Anti-Japanese War revolution.

Bai Gongguan was originally the suburban villa of Sichuan warlord Bai Ju. Bai Ju claimed to be a descendant of Bai Juyi and borrowed Bai Juyi's nickname "Xiangshan Jushi" to name the villa "Xiangshan Villa". In 1939, Dai Li, the head of the military reunification agency, took a fancy to it when choosing a site at the foot of Gele Mountain. He bought it with a lot of money and transformed it into a prison for persecuting revolutionaries.

When you come to Bai Gongguan, you can see slogans written on the walls of the courtyard, such as "Be loyal when you advance, make up for your mistakes when you retreat", "Rectify your friendship without seeking benefits, and understand the way without counting the merits" and other slogans. From the slogan, we should admire those revolutionaries and communists who sacrifice their lives for the people and the pursuit of justice. There are also the "Eight Articles in Prison" soaked in the thoughts and blood of the martyrs. Its significance today is no less than it was then, and it should be used as a vivid teaching material for cultivating the moral character of cadres and fighting corruption.

Then, the practical research team came to the cell where Jiang Zhujun, Li Qinglin and other revolutionary martyrs had been imprisoned. Through the window, they could see one or two beds in the dark room. The original gate of Bai Mansion was closed all day long, with entry and exit through a small door on the side. The original storage room was converted into a dungeon, and the original air raid shelter was converted into a torture cave.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the practical research team visited the Bai Mansion. In the solemn and quiet atmosphere, they experienced the tenacious and fearless courage of the revolutionary martyrs and the strong revolutionary spirit of refusing to surrender.
