Memorial Park of the main generals of the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army

On the way up the mountain, you can see a lot of Red Army's stone slogans.

Located at the west end of the corridor of the forest of Steles, the Memorial Statue Garden of the main generals of the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army is carved with red granite. They are: Zhang Guotao, Xu Qianqian, Chen Changhao, Wang Shusheng, Li Xiannian, Ni Zhiliang, Zhang qinqiu, Zhou Chunquan, Fu Zhong and Zeng Chuanliu.

The statue is inlaid with black granite. The design idea is simple, bright and profound. The ratio of length to width is designed according to the "golden section" method with aesthetic view in plastic arts. The three-level U-shaped ladder under the memorial seat represents the first, second, third and fourth front armies, and the rear is combined into a line, indicating that the three armies are integrated after they meet. The height of the statue is 1.5 meters, and the height of the statue is 4 meters.

Zhang qinqiu, 1904-1968, was the outstanding representative of the first generation of revolutionary new women in our party. She was the first generation of female party member of the Communist Party of China. After studying in Moscow for five years, she returned home and became the only director of the political department and the only female division commander of the front army in the Red Army. After liberation, she was the first generation of female minister of the Republic. Zhang qinqiu's original husband was Shen Zemin, the younger brother of Shen Yanbing (the famous writer Mao Dun), in 1932. After the fourth front army left the base areas of Hubei, Henan and Anhui, Shen Zemin stayed and insisted on guerrilla struggle, but unfortunately died the next year. In July 1936, before the Fourth Front Army crossed the grassland for the third time, Zhang qinqiu married Chen Changhao, chief political commissar of the Fourth Front Army. Later, because Chen Changhao's original wife Liu Xiuzhen found Yan'an, her marriage to Chen Changhao was in name only. Later, she married Su Jingguan, an old comrade in arms of the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army. After the founding of new China, she served as vice minister of the Ministry of textile industry for a long time.

To the right of these six people is Zhou Chunquan (1905-1985). After the fourth front army arrived in the Sichuan Shaanxi border region, Zhang qinqiu was first appointed director of the General Political Department of the front army. Later, because he opposed Zhang Guotao's mistake, he suffered retaliation and was transferred to director of the Political Department of the general hospital. In February 1936, Zhou chunquancai was appointed director of the General Political Department of the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army. In March, he was transferred to political commissar of the 31st army of the Red Army. In 1955, he was awarded the rank of general.

Later, he was Vice Minister of Commerce of the people's Republic of China.

The statue of Zhang Guotao was placed more than one meter lower than the platform on which the statue of nine people was placed, which indicated his later ending. Moreover, his statue is opposite to other statues, indicating that they have different opinions. However, Zhang Guotao's position was at the beginning of the corridor in the forest of Steles, which symbolized that he was the main leader of the Fourth Front Army of the Red Army. On the front of the statue is engraved: general political commissar of the Red Army and representative of the first National Congress of the Communist Party of China; on the back is engraved a brief introduction of his life.
