Where does the former site of the 108th Regiment of the Red Army belong?

The former site of the 108th Regiment of the Red Army is a cultural relic protection unit in Xianyou, a classic red tourism scenic spot, and a patriotic education base.

The former site of the 108th Regiment of the Red Army is located in Maixieyan, Maixie Village, Zhongshan Town, Xianyou County, Putian City.

After the 207th Regiment of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army was established in Putian in August 1930, the Xianyou County Committee of the Communist Party of China also began to embark on the road of establishing a Red Army team. In September of the same year, the Xianyou Provisional County Committee of the Communist Party of China raised more than 10 troops through various channels to form a Red Army guerrilla force. In October, the guerrillas decided to take advantage of the Shanhua Civil Defense Corps leader's banquet with local tyrants and evil gentry to attack the headquarters of the Shanhua Civil Defense Corps and seize a piece of ammunition. In this battle, the guerrillas killed 4 members of the regiment, wounded 3 others, and surrendered more than 20 Branch, - more than a thousand hairs. After the victory of the battle, the guerrillas carried out revolutionary propaganda to the masses, distributed leaflets, and posted slogans and notices. Subsequently, the guerrillas withdrew to the Maixieyan Temple on the hillside of Maixieyan in the Xingtai Mountains, and announced the establishment of the 108th Regiment of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, with Huang Ying as the regiment leader and Lin Zhi as the political commissar, and decided to use Maixieyan as a base to carry out armed Struggle and agrarian revolution in order to connect with the Guangye and Changtai base areas in Putian.

The establishment of the 108th Regiment of the Red Army gave Xianyou its own armed forces for the first time since the founding of the party, and ignited the beacon of revolutionary armed struggle in the Xingtai Mountains of Xianyou. Red Army soldiers went into villages to propagate revolutionary principles, called on the masses to fight against donations and taxes, and resolutely suppressed local landlord bullies. In November, they suppressed the local security guards in Mapu, Zhongshan Town, and then held a mass meeting in Dingtang Village in Xunyang. They caught the bully Zhang Gui, criticized him, and shot him to death on the spot. These actions greatly inspired the masses' revolutionary fighting spirit, and many aspiring young people joined the Red Army. By mid-December, the 108th Regiment of the Red Army had grown to nearly a hundred people, and the guerrilla base area had expanded from Zhongshan to the entire Xingtai Mountains such as Youyang and Shicang. However, because the armed actions of the 108th Regiment of the Red Army caused panic among the local authorities of the Kuomintang, at the end of December, under the heavy "clearance" of the Kuomintang troops, the 108th Regiment was forced to break into pieces and break out overnight. One unit was transferred to Xian (You) Yong. The Guyi area on the border of (Thailand) persisted in the underground struggle, and another group formed an 8-member team to prepare for a raid on Xianyou County in order to achieve the purpose of "moving the tiger away from the mountain." When the team went down the mountain and passed through Bangtou Street, they encountered the local security team. The two sides started a fierce battle and the team members were dispersed. After that, the remaining members of the 108th Regiment of the Red Army turned to dispersed and covert activities, and the armed struggle in Xianyou entered a low ebb.

The former site of the 108th Regiment of the Red Army is Maixieyan Temple. It was built in the Song Dynasty. The temple is a civil structure and is still well preserved. In April 1995, the Xianyou County Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Xianyou County People's Government built a memorial pavilion for the 108th Regiment of the Red Army next to Maixieyan Temple. Cai Yuan, who is also the chief of staff, inscribed "The Light of Mai Xie" for the memorial pavilion. In July 2008, the Memorial Room of the 108th Regiment of the Red Army was completed and opened, enriching the connotation of the Maixieyan red scenic spot and becoming an important base for Xianyou County to carry out patriotism education for party members, cadres and young people.

The former site of the 108th Regiment of the Red Army was announced as a cultural relic protection unit in Xianyou County by the Xianyou County People's Government in October 1980. In July 2001, it was announced as a patriotic education site in Putian City by the Putian Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China. The base was announced as the Putian City Party History Education Base by the Party History Research Office of the Putian Municipal Party Committee of the Communist Party of China in June 2010. In November 2012, it was announced as the Party History Education Base of Fujian Province by the Party History Research Office of the Fujian Provincial Party Committee of the Communist Party of China. .
