historical background

In May 1907, after the failure of Huanggang uprising, he Ziyuan and other leaders immediately returned to Meizhou. Soon after, the identities of Xiao Huichang, Jiang Baijian, Yao Zhuying, Zhang Huagu and others were exposed, and they were forced to avoid jianzhuding tea farm for more than half a year. Yao Zhuying lived in jianzhuding tea farm for more than half a year, while Xiao Huichang, Jiang Baijian and others lived for more than four months. In order to rescue the leader of the revolutionary party and discuss the next action plan, Qiu Fengjia came to Shima many times in the early summer of 1908 (Wushen) to discuss countermeasures. The revolutionary party members were rescued under the guarantee of he Ziyuan and Qiu Fengjia.

He Ziyuan, Xiao Huichang and Jiang Baijian, the leaders of Jia's revolutionary party, were not reconciled to the failure of the "Huanggang uprising". Soon after, they actively raised funds, purchased guns and ammunition, and participated in the planning of the Huanghuagang uprising in Huizhou and Guangzhou with the Shima people's family in Xingning, Guangdong, and he Tianhan and he tianjiong, the leaders of the alliance.

In early March 1911, he ziyuante assigned Chen Wenyou, brother of Hongmen in diaotan village, Shima, to transport 18 corvettes, 17 non-smoking guns, nine ring guns and ammunition back to Huizhou from Hong Kong with Luo Zhiyang, Yan Deming and others. He planned to revolt in Huicheng. When the merchant ship landed at Aotou, Daya Bay, it was searched by patrolling soldiers. Chen Wenyou and others were arrested on the spot, and Luo Zhiyang took the opportunity to escape. After his identity was revealed, Yan Deming convinced the soldiers with revolutionary righteousness, and the soldiers called them "Mr. revolution" respectfully. Then the guard relaxed. Yan Deming escaped by night, and Chen Wenyou was deported to Huizhou.

After the incident, Yan Queting, a member of the same party, and Yang Ruiting, a student of Huizhou middle school, rushed to the rescue attempt. Qin Bingzhi, the land commander of Guangdong Province who was stationed in Huizhou, intuitively discovered that the revolutionaries were on the verge of an incident, so he secretly ordered Yan keting to be captured. Then he sent a special ship to escort Chen Wenyou and Yan keting to Guangzhou, where they were imprisoned in Nanhai prison.

On March 29, 1911, the Huanghuagang uprising broke out. Huang Xing and other revolutionaries besieged the governor's office in Guangzhou, but they were defeated. When they heard about it, their friends in prison repeatedly lamented, "poor compatriots, poor compatriots..." When the jailer heard of it, he said, "it is true that he is not afraid of the dead!". The next day, he was beheaded outside the prison.

After the failure of the uprising, Huang Xing was wounded and fled back to Hong Kong. Yu Peilun, Fang Shengdong and Lin Juemin were killed. Among the 86 members of the alliance who died, the remains of 72 were collected by Pan Dawei and buried in Honghuagang, the eastern suburb of Guangzhou. Pan Dawei changed the name of Honghuagang to Huanghua, so the uprising was called "Huanghuagang uprising".

At 5:30 p.m. on April 27, 1911, Huanghuagang Park was on Xianlie Road, Guangzhou. On March 29th, 1911, Huang Xing, a member of the Chinese Alliance led by Sun Yat Sen, led more than 120 members to fight against the Governor General's office of Guangdong and Guangxi, and launched the 10th armed uprising of the alliance, Guangzhou Uprising. Guangzhou launched an armed uprising against the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. After a bloody battle day and night, it was defeated because it was outnumbered. Yu Peilun and more than 100 other people died. Pan Dawei, a member of the alliance, ventured all over the country to collect the bodies by charities. A total of 72 bodies were buried here. After Pan's death, he was also buried here.

The remains of martyrs Chen Wenyou, Yan Zhengting and the martyrs who died on March 29 were piled up in front of the Advisory Bureau, and later collected by Pan Dawei and buried in Huanghuagang. In 1919, the first batch of 72 martyrs was 56. In 1922, the second batch was 16. In 1932, 13 martyrs including Chen Wenyou were approved. Another tablet was set up, and the inscription was written by Hu Hanmin.

After three months of planning and preparation, Huang Xing held a meeting of the overall planning department in Hong Kong on the 8th. He set the time to raise a case in Guangzhou on the 13th and planned to attack in 10 routes. Due to Wen Shengcai's assassination of Fuqi, the Guangdong authorities stepped up their vigilance. In addition, some money and guns did not arrive, so the original plan was forced to be postponed.

On July 23, 1911, Huang Xing sneaked into Guangzhou and established the uprising headquarters. The Guangdong authorities have heard about the uprising, stepped up their precautions, and wantonly searched for revolutionaries. The situation has become more and more unfavorable. On the evening of the 26th, Huang Xing called a meeting and hastily decided to take action. After the death squads broke into the governor's office, the governor Zhang Mingqi fled. After the rebel army burned the governor's office, they engaged in close combat with the regiment of navy commander Li Zhun outside Dongyuan gate. The uprising army fought in bloody battles, Ran East and West, and finally collapsed due to the serious shortage of troops.

Cemetery construction

Huanghuagang was originally named Honghuagang. Pan Dawei thought that "Honghua" was less powerful and beautiful than "Huanghua" after burying the martyrs. Therefore, in the report on the burial of the martyrs, he changed the name of Honghuagang to Huanghuagang. Since then, it has been renamed and still used today.

In 1912, the military government of Guangzhou allocated 100000 yuan to build a martyr's cemetery in the original cemetery. Sun Yat Sen personally planted green pines and wrote four letters for the cemetery. Later, the cemetery was expanded many times. After verification, 86 martyrs, such as Yu Peilun and Lin Juemin, whose names and deeds can be verified, were collected in the cemetery.

After the founding of the PRC, the people's government attached great importance to the construction of the cemetery, built walls and strengthened the renovation and protection. In 1961, it was announced as the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units by the State Council. In 1981 and 1986, the government allocated funds for maintenance twice, which made Haoqi shine again. In 1986, it was rated as one of the "new eight sceneries of Yangcheng" and named "Huanghua Haoqi". Chen Yunhe's poem Huanghuagang praises that "you are a book with a yellow cover that can be read easily. Even though time flies from here, the punctuation on it is still full of blood.".
