Propagate patriotism

On October 21, 2011, the reporter got a page of information from Ms. Wang in the reference room of Hainan Provincial Archives. This is a brief story of martyr Lin Wenying. It shows the revolutionary life of martyr Lin Wenying, and he vowed when he died bravely: "after a long time, he changed his head for freedom. I live up to everyone's fault, and I am willing to pour iron blood into China. " Lin Wenying, a native of Wenchang City, Hainan Province, was born in 1873 to an overseas Chinese family in Thailand. She was a member of the house of representatives of the Republic of China and a martyr of the 1911 Revolution. In 1903, Lin Wenying went to Tokyo from Thailand to study. In 1904, he met Sun Yat sen in Yokohama, Japan and joined the Chinese League. After graduation, he returned to Thailand and donated a large sum of money to establish Hua Siam times, which publicized the revolution, helped Sun Yat Sen raise money, bought wanlun fireboat, carried weapons and returned home to help the uprising. He once participated in zhennanguan uprising and Huanghuagang uprising, and was Sun Yat Sen's right-hand assistant. After the failure of the uprising, Lin Wenying accompanied Sun Yat Sen to all parts of Nanyang to mobilize overseas Chinese to support and participate in the revolution. In 1909, Lin Wenying returned to Hainan under the command of Sun Yat Sen, and established the Hainan Branch of the Chinese League in Haikou to mobilize young students and villagers to join the association. Yuan Shikai's betrayal of the revolution of 1911 and the usurpation of the presidency were fiercely opposed by the people of the whole country. Lin Wenying was wanted for making anti yuan remarks. Lin Wenying went to Shanghai to work out a plan with Sun Yat Sen to fight against yuan. In the "second revolution" in 1913, Lin Wenying followed Sun Yat Sen to give lectures, raised money and supported the revolution. After the failure of the revolution, Lin Wenying and Sun Yat Sen fled abroad. After that, Lin Wenying accompanied Sun Yat Sen to return to Hainan and was ordered to return to Hainan again. Together with Chen Zichen and other members of the Haikou Branch of the Chinese League Association, he founded Qiongdao daily in ximenwai Street (now 139 Xinmin Road), Haikou City. Lin Wenying, as the general manager and journalist, publicized Sun Yat Sen's civil rights, patriotism, republicanism, and founded a civilian school to spread revolutionary theory to the people.

Sun Yat Sen wrote a tablet to expose Yuan Shikai's plot to be killed

Lin Wenying, recommended by Sun Yat Sen, was elected as a member of the house of Representatives. When she took office in Beijing, she dared to make anti yuan remarks, which aroused the hatred and deliberate murder of the rulers. Lin Wenying got Sun Yat Sen's instructions and fled from Beijing in time. In the later anti yuan climax, Lin Wenying received a sword and red flag from Sun Yat Sen. after returning to QiongYa to discuss yuan's great plan with Chen Xianong, the commander-in-chief of the yuan army in QiongYa. With the support of Chen Jiafu, the president of Haikou chamber of Commerce, she reopened Qiongdao daily to publicize patriotism, expose Yuan Shikai's crime of conspiracy to restore the monarchy and betray the national interests, and guide the anti yuan struggle to sweep through Qiongdao Island. Lin Wenying's revolutionary action angered Yuan Shikai's government. On March 29, 1914, Guangdong governor long Jiguang and QiongYa Governor Chen Shihua arrested Lin Wenying and put him in prison. On the night of April 2, 1913, Lin Wenying was secretly killed in the first park of Fucheng (today's Qiongshan workers' Cultural Palace). She was only 41 years old.

On June 6, 1916, Yuan Shikai failed to claim the title of emperor, betrayed his relatives and died suddenly! Sun Yat Sen Zhaoxue for Lin Wenying, recognized Lin Wenying as a martyr. In 1919, Lin Wenying's remains were buried in the south of Qinglan Shikeng village in Wenchang City. Sun Yat Sen personally inscribed the inscription "Tomb of martyr Lin Wenying". At that time, the national government also accepted the suggestions and donations from overseas Chinese, and built a stele Pavilion in the place where Lin Wenying died to commemorate his death.

Status quo of monuments

The martyrs are gradually forgotten, and the surrounding environment of the monument is chaotic

on October 22, 2011, the reporter revisited the memorial of martyr Lin Wenying and learned that the simple deeds of the martyrs are little known, the memorial of the martyrs is gradually forgotten, and activities to commemorate the martyrs are rarely held. the reporter found that the street facing side of the monument has been blocked by the wall, which is connected with a variety of shops. There are many tall buildings near these shops, and the shops and buildings are full of modern market atmosphere. The low monument in the corner of the wall is almost covered by the buildings and shops. It is difficult for people who do not know to walk on Wenchuang road in Fucheng to find a martyr's memorial in the courtyard Read the monument. On Wenzhuang Road, as a tourist, the reporter inquired about the memorial of martyr Lin Wenying from a young man dressed as a student. He could not tell the location of the memorial. The wall encircles the workers' Cultural Palace into a compound. The compound is not as spacious as it used to be. It is a bit crowded inside. A privately contracted parking lot accounts for about half of the compound. There are many vehicles in the parking lot, including many elegant cars. Some of them are placed beside the fence of the monument, only five or six steps away from the monument. When the reporter was photographing the memorial Pavilion for martyrs, a young man who was looking after the vehicles beside the memorial Pavilion asked what to shoot. The reporter answered that he was photographing the memorial Pavilion for martyrs. He asked who the martyrs were and what the broken pavilion was worth photographing. He was working next to the memorial Pavilion. He didn't even look at the red painted Memorial Pavilion of martyr Lin Wenying. The reporter also asked the young man if he knew about the monument opposite. He said that he had not entered the fence of the monument so far. the reporter tried to find out about the situation of looking at the monument to the martyrs. A girl who worked in the parking lot for two years said that she knew it was a monument to the martyrs, but she didn't hear the introduction of the monument. Usually, no one brought flowers to worship. Occasionally, she saw one or two old people watching beside the monument, as if they were studying something.

The memorial Pavilion is old and defaced. Scholars suggest that it be repaired

with the enhancement of people's business consciousness and the fierce market competition, people have opened teahouses, restaurants, beauty salons, Internet cafes, mahjong halls and song and dance halls in the courtyard where the monument is located. During the day, the streets are noisy, while at night, singing and dancing are peaceful. The solemn monument to the martyrs is in a chaotic noise. the reporter found that there is a food shop next to the monument. Next to the monument, there is a small house with garbage. Piles of garbage are dumped inside and outside the house. Flies are biting, insects are crawling, sewage is infiltrating and miscellaneous materials are flowing, stinking. Some of the iron fences adjacent to the dump were corroded and rotten, while others were all broken, making the fence a door. There are no flowers and green trees around the monument. There are patches of gray and black on the floor of the base of the monument. The body of the monument is also old. The inscription on the top of the monument is hard to see clearly. Only the image of the martyr is bright. Unfortunately, he is indifferent. compared with the monument, the martyr memorial Pavilion is lifeless except for the words "martyr Lin Wenying Memorial Pavilion". The pillars and walls of some pavilions have been cracked, and the stone tables and benches in the pavilions have also been cracked. People who used to enjoy themselves in the pavilions have already abandoned this dangerous Pavilion. There is a shed next to the pavilion, where sundries are piled up in a mess. The original teahouse has been closed, and the remaining iron shelf is suspended in the air. The shelf is next to the pavilion, which is so rusty that it pierces the cracked face of the pavilion. Haikou has few cultural landscapes, which is a pity for the development of a tourist city. The lack of scenic spots and historic sites has made the relevant departments feel like treasure. The restoration of some ancient settlements has cost a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources, which can be described as a cost. The monument of martyr Lin Wenying, which is just across the street from the monument of martyr Lin Wenying, has been built with great style, while the monument of martyr Lin Wenying, which is of great historical value and practical significance, has been neglected.
