Hua Guofeng cemetery

Hua Guofeng cemetery

Hua Guofeng cemetery is located in guashan, northwest of Jiaocheng County, Luliang City, Shanxi Province. It is the cemetery of Comrade Hua Guofeng, former chairman of the CPC Central Committee, chairman of the Central Military Commission and Premier of the State Council. Local people affectionately call it "Hua Ling".

Looking to the south, you can have a panoramic view of Jiaocheng County. At first, it was rumored that the cemetery covers an area of 10 hectares (equivalent to 14 standard football fields) and costs over 100 million yuan. In April 2011, Shanxi officials clarified that the total area of the cemetery is more than 4260 square meters, and the total investment is about 12 million yuan. There is no use of a piece of white marble mentioned on the Internet.

The construction of Hualing is believed to be beneficial to Jiaocheng, Shanxi, China and even the world. First of all, Jiaocheng can not only meet the emotional needs of people in their hometown to cherish and look forward to HuaLao, but also promote the development of local humanistic tourism. This point is very clear. Secondly, the people who have feelings for China are not only the people in Jiaocheng's hometown, but also all over the country and the world. As a revolutionist and a historical figure of the central Republic of China, he is no longer an ordinary person. People who understand historical materialism can figure out this problem as long as they proceed from objective reality.

characteristic

The design of the mausoleum follows the example of Dr. Sun Yat Sen's Nanjing Zhongshan Mausoleum, which faces south from the north and is built close to the mountains, overlooking Jiaocheng. There are 365 granite stone grades with white jade railings on both sides.

According to the plan, on the east side of Comrade Hua Guofeng's mausoleum is an ancient temple, Wenchang palace, built in the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. There are 40 ancient cypresses from 1000 to 2000 years old in the palace, including jujube, walnut, toon, poplar, willow, locust, pine and other tree species, 50% of which are more than 100 years old. On both sides of the tomb are two cliffs, like the open chicken wings, and the tomb is like a chicken head. It covers an area of 5.72 hectares with a total construction area of 33867 square meters. Every 32 levels is a group, there are four big platforms, about 12 meters in width, meaning the four seasons of the year. The two sides are protected by white jade railings. The shape of the tomb is a 5.5-meter square stone tripod with an H-shaped front. It is the first letter of the alphabet of "Hua" and "Hui", implying that Hua Guofeng, 55, was the chairman of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China. After his death, he was buried in Jiaocheng, his hometown, and finally "went home".

manufacturing cost

In April 2011, media reported that Hua Guofeng mausoleum in Jiaocheng County of Shanxi Province invested about 100 million yuan, covering an area of 10 hectares (equivalent to 14 standard football fields), which caused heated public opinion. In response, the deputy director of the Civil Affairs Bureau of Jiaocheng County said that the total area of the mausoleum is more than 4260 square meters, with a total investment of about 12 million yuan, not a piece of white marble said on the Internet.

On April 5, according to media reports, "Hualing" is known as comparable to Nanjing Zhongshan Mausoleum, with an investment of about 100 million yuan and an area of 10 hectares (equivalent to 14 standard football fields). "Hualing" began to cause heated discussion.

Bai Qingfeng, deputy director of the Civil Affairs Bureau of Jiaocheng County, who is in charge of the "Hualing" project, said that there are several serious inaccuracies in the online reports: first, the total area of the whole project is more than 4260 square meters, but the online report says that there are 100000 square meters; second, the total investment of the project is about 12 million yuan, not more than 100 million yuan, and it is basically the local government expenditure, without central funding; third, the total investment of the project is more than 100 million yuan; Third, some of the building materials are granite, and some are local common stones called "hongjingshi", not a piece of white marble.

"Almost the same." Bai Qingfeng's statement was confirmed by Yang Youwei, vice president of Shanxi architectural design and Research Institute.

"In addition to the 5000 square meters of Lvliang hero Memorial square and the 1200 square meters of Jin Sui Revolutionary History Memorial Hall under construction, the total area is only 10400 square meters, which is the size of more than one football field. Where is the 10 hectares?" Bai Qingfeng asked.

As for the cost of the project, "even if the three projects of mausoleum, square and memorial hall add up, it will not exceed 30 million yuan. How can we say that it is 100 million yuan?" Bai Qingfeng said.

significance

Change Jiaocheng

The ashes of Comrade Hua Guofeng are placed in Jiaocheng, which is of far-reaching significance to the local economic, educational and cultural development.

What can Hualing bring to Jiaocheng? According to previous media reports, the cemeteries of some national leaders have gone beyond simply remembering their ancestors. Local governments have spared no effort to actively promote the site selection, investment and construction. Some have also received social donations, while the cemeteries are managed and operated by relevant departments. A typical way is to create a "patriotic education base" and a "red tourism base" with dual political and economic meanings.

In Jiaocheng County Party committee and county government's newly produced album "love is full of Jiaoshan", the title of the opening remarks is "set the theme of development and build the hometown of great people", which points out "do a good job in the political project of HuaLao ashes placement project".

At the beginning of 2009, when Hua Guofeng's relatives proposed to transport the ashes back to guashan, Jiaocheng County, the county decided to place Hua Guofeng's ashes on a barren slope close to the Jin Sui revolutionary memorial hall, Jiaocheng County Cultural Relics Museum and Lvliang Hero Square.

"Hua Guofeng's ashes are part of Jiaocheng County's patriotic education base and red tourism base," Bai said However, he told reporters with great certainty that in the future, the "Hualing" will not be open for free.

Lu Jifeng admits that Jiaocheng's tourism revenue is not high. With the promotion of "Hualing" and other tourism projects, the future tourism potential will be great. "The director of the county tourism bureau is full of confidence in this.".

"The burial of Comrade Hua Guofeng's ashes in Jiaocheng is of far-reaching significance to the local economic, educational and cultural development. Jiaocheng people can always look forward to and remember Comrade Hua Guofeng when they miss him." Tian Rui, director of the historical records office of Jiaocheng County, told the media that he has been studying Hua Guofeng's history for many years and has had many years of contacts with the Hua family.

Jiaocheng's financial revenue mainly depends on large coking coal enterprises. In 2010, Jiaocheng County's financial revenue reached 1 billion yuan.

By 2010, Jiaocheng will pay close attention to both "hardware" and "software": in 2009, the government invested 1.8 billion yuan in urban construction; in the past, there were no regular taxis in the county, but now brand-new taxis began to appear on the streets; it spent 150 million yuan to build a 1500 meter long Yingbin Avenue, which directly leads to "Hualing" and "guashan ecological park"; it is far from "Hualing" Guashan Hotel, which is not far from Jiaoling, has been open for business. In recent months, Jiaocheng has been renovated intensively, and there are many traffic police at each intersection to correct the traffic mistakes and publicize civilized travel.

Sacrifice and sweep

People from all over the country went to the memorial ceremony spontaneously

Jiaocheng, China News Agency, April 3, 2012: since Hua Guofeng's ashes were buried in Lvliang Hero Square in guashan, Jiaocheng, Shanxi Province in early November 2011, people from all over China have come to pay homage, especially during the Qingming Festival.

During the Qingming Festival, the withered trees in the North sprouted, and the high loess slopes in April were blown with strong wind. Hua Guofeng's tomb in Jiaocheng County, Shanxi Province, is surrounded by yellow and white chrysanthemums and fragrant with 31 straight pines and cypresses. People came to pay homage to the tombstone.

Lvliang Hero Square, where Hua Guofeng's tomb is located, is located at the southern foot of guashan mountain in Jiaocheng, Shanxi Province. It is about 65 kilometers from Taiyuan to the south along Qingyin expressway. According to Bai Qingfeng, deputy director of Jiaocheng Civil Affairs Bureau, who is responsible for the construction of the project, the total area of the project is more than 4260 square meters. The activity square covers an area of 2000 square meters, the footpath covers an area of 1860 square meters, and the underground tomb does not cover an area.

Entering the square, the top of the 392 steps is a stone tablet surrounded by flowers, with the characters "Tomb of Hua Guofeng" in gilded traditional Chinese on the top and "1921-2008" on the bottom. The shape of the tomb is a 5.5-meter-square stone tripod, which looks like a huge "H", with the initial capital letter of Chinese Pinyin meaning "Hua".

Jia Yufeng, a Jiaocheng man doing business in Taiyuan, specially drove here to pay homage. He told reporters that since Hua Lao died, he would put pictures of Hua Guofeng at home every Qingming Festival. After Hua Guofeng's ashes were buried in the hero square of Luliang, he chose to come here for the Qingming Festival this year.

In front of Hua Guofeng's tomb, Wang Zhijun from Hengyang, Hunan Province, bowed and presented flowers. This is his second visit here. "Last year, on the third anniversary of Hua Guofeng's death, it was said that his ashes would return to his hometown for burial, so I came to Jiaocheng by train." Wang Zhijun said that Hua Guofeng has worked in Hunan for more than 20 years, has made contributions to the development of Hunan, has a high reputation among the people, and is deeply respected and loved by the people of Hunan.

After the death of Mao Zedong in 1976, the gang of four stepped up its conspiracy to seize the supreme leadership of China. Hua Guofeng, who was in charge of the work of the Central Committee at that time, waged a resolute struggle against the gang of four. On October 6 of the same year, Hua Guofeng, Ye Jianying and other central leaders took measures to isolate Wang Hongwen, Zhang Chunqiao, Jiang Qing, Yao Wenyuan and others, smashing the gang of four.

On August 20, 2008, Hua Guofeng, former chairman of the CPC Central Committee, chairman of the Military Commission and Premier of the State Council, died of illness at the age of 87. Han Zhijun, Hua Guofeng's wife, repeated her last wish: "let me go back to guashan. There are many trees there. It's clean. I was there when I was a child, and I was there when I was a guerrilla. "
