Human history

As early as in the Anti Japanese War, Enshi was the residence of the Hubei provincial government of the Kuomintang and the headquarters of the sixth war zone. During the South Anhui Incident, general Ye Ting, who was unjustly detained and illegally detained by the Kuomintang, was secretly detained here twice for two years, which is the place where general Ye Ting was imprisoned for the longest time. At the end of 1942, when general Ye Ting was escorted to Enshi from Chongqing, Sichuan Province, he was put under house arrest at the "minxiangshe guest house" (now No. 38 of Sanyi Palace) in the east gate of the city. Two or three months later, in order to show his "Leniency" and "freedom" towards Ye Ting and to be easy to guard, Chen Cheng chose the house in houshanwan and moved Ye Ting to this house. In August 1943, Chiang Kai Shek transferred Ye Ting to Guilin, Guangxi. In January of the next year, he was remanded to Enshi, where he remained in prison until August 1945, after the victory of the Anti Japanese War, he was remanded to Chongqing. During the two years of general Ye Ting's imprisonment in Enshi, his wife Li Xiuwen and children Ye Zhengming, ye Huaming and ye Yangmei successively lived here. With the permission of Chen Cheng, their children were able to study in Enshi.

The former site of general Ye Ting's prisoner's residence is facing the Ximen River and back to Liangzi mountain. A main road (formerly known as Baming highway, now national highway 209) passes through the north and south, and opposite is liujiaoting hill. The whole trench is sparsely populated and easy to guard and keep secret. The former site of the prisoner's residence is a civil building with a buwa surface. Facing east, there are three main rooms and two wing rooms. It is commonly known as the "key head" architectural form, with two trailing eaves. The house was originally owned by Li zishang, a landlord, and lived by Liu Guijin, a tenant. After general Ye Ting moved in, the tenants moved into the wing room and gave up the main room, kitchen and left main room for Ye Ting to use. General Ye Ting's bedroom is simple and plain. It has an old-fashioned five drawer table, a wooden chair, a washstand and two beds made of wooden stools. In August 1995, when ye Huaming, the son of general Ye Ting, was looking at the site, he recalled the scene 50 years ago and said, "there are two beds in the bedroom. They are old-fashioned wooden frame beds in Enshi mountain area. One is big and the other is small. The small one is for father, and the big one is for elder brother Zhengming, younger sister Yangmei and my three brothers and sisters. In the evening, my father tutored our three brothers and sisters at the old-fashioned five drawer table, telling revolutionary principles and anti Japanese war stories. There is a big table in the middle of the main room for eating. There are several rabbit cages on the right side. It tastes very smelly. "

When general Ye Ting lived in Enshi, he borrowed money from the personal savings of Zhou Cangbai, an old friend of Ye Ting and then president of Hubei Provincial Bank and general manager of affordable goods supply department. Wang Dunxiang and Ke Nanshan, designated by Zhou Cangbai, were in charge of the living supply. Chen Cheng also gave Ye Ting salary and uniform according to the standard of Lieutenant General Gao Shen of the sixth theater command, but they were all rejected by Ye Ting. Chiang Kai Shek was also particularly "concerned" about Ye Ting's "recuperation" in Enshi. In addition to arranging for Chen Cheng's direct control, he also instructed the juntong to take charge of surveillance, and placed secret agents around Ye Ting as "ushers". Under the pretext of protecting Ye Ting, Chen Cheng sent secret agents to live in Ye Ting's farmhouse successively in the name of "guard team" to be responsible for monitoring Ye Ting's words and deeds. Ye Ting's every move should be immediately reported to the secret service leader, or sent to the secret service leader in writing for review. At night, the bleak, dark farmhouse was surrounded by sentries. There is a blockhouse built on Liangzi mountain behind the farmhouse. Soldiers live at night and withdraw at dawn. On the surface, general Ye Ting can move freely. In fact, he is closely monitored by secret agents.

On the right side of the former site of the prisoner's residence, the original house of the same size and style was owned by the landlord surnamed Huang and lived by the tenant Wu Wenjiang. Between the gables of the two houses, there is less than one meter of access to the back mountain. However, in the 1950s after liberation, the house and the former site of Ye Ting's prison were demolished at the same time.

The general Ye Ting Memorial Hall covers an area of 175 square meters. It is a reinforced concrete structure with two floors of exhibition hall, a total of 330 square meters. The exhibition hall on the first floor of the memorial hall displays pictures of general Ye Ting's life story, which is divided into 17 parts: Guangzhou conquered the enemy and showed his talent first; he waged the Northern Expedition and made many miraculous achievements; Nanchang Wenzhou held high the banner of righteousness; he marched into the enemy's rear and killed the Japanese aggressors; he fought fiercely in southern Anhui and was in prison; he lived in Enshi and insisted on fighting; his fame survived and died. More than 140 precious historical photos are displayed to show the lofty quality and fearless spirit of general Ye Ting's lifelong pursuit of revolutionary truth, his boundless loyalty to the party and the people, and his resolute struggle with the reactionary forces of the Kuomintang. The exhibition hall on the second floor displays more than 150 pictures of the precious cultural relics and historical materials of the war of resistance against Japan in Enshi. Focusing on Enshi, it reproduces the historical facts of the Communist Party of China's unity and heroic struggle against Japan.

From 1983 to 1986, during the restoration and construction of the former site and Memorial Hall of general Ye Ting's prison, the leaders of the then municipal government and the person in charge of the cultural relics unit pointed out the boundary. Walls, stone steps and railings have been built. The original natural slope has been converted into a four stage terrace. The general Pavilion, Monument and green lawn have been built. Evergreen trees and precious flowers and trees have been used in the museum. Beside the general Pavilion, there is also a tea garden cultivated by general Ye Ting. Enshi people call it "general's article". Although the diameter of the tree has the diameter of the bowl, it is still luxuriant after careful care. Every year in early spring, more than 10 jin of delicious "general tea" can be picked and processed.

At that time, after general Ye Ting was detained by the Kuomintang, he was imprisoned in Shangrao, Jiangxi Province, Chongqing, Sichuan Province and other places. The Kuomintang failed to persuade him to surrender repeatedly. In 1942, Chen Cheng, then chairman of the Hubei provincial government of the Kuomintang and commander of the sixth war zone, offered advice to Chiang Kai Shek. He tried to do the work of Ye Ting's transformation and guidance through his relationship with Ye Ting's classmates, which was approved by Chiang Kai Shek. In order to get rid of Chiang Kai Shek, Ye Ting came to Enshi. However, during his stay in Enshi, general Ye Ting had a resolute struggle with the Kuomintang reactionaries, and was not affected by the "transformation" and "inducement" of Chen Cheng and others. On June 25, 1943, appointed by Zhou Enlai, Xinhua Daily reporter Lu Yijie went to Enshi to visit general Ye Ting and conveyed the cordial greetings from the Party Central Committee and Chairman Mao, which made general Ye Ting eager to meet the party's comrades and make friends with the party organization. On July 1 of the same year, Chiang Kai Shek flew to Enshi, where he stayed in Longdong, and personally persuaded general Ye Ting to surrender, but he was still not moved.

During Enshi's imprisonment, general Ye Ting improved his life by opening up wasteland, raising livestock, cultivating tea gardens, and often helped the poor people nearby. When people learned that he was commander Ye Ting of the New Fourth Army, they were deeply shocked and admired him even more. They also liked to chat with him, talk heart to heart and listen to him talk about Anti Japanese principles. Today, in the exhibition hall of general Ye Ting's memorial hall, there are not only farm tools such as digging hoes, collecting hoes and sickles, but also photos of the general holding chickens and talking with farmers.

In 1995, the 50th anniversary of the victory of the world anti fascist war and the Chinese people's Anti Japanese War, Enshi Municipal People's government raised more than 30000 yuan to cast a bronze bust of general Ye Ting. The bronze statue is 3.46 meters high. On August 15, a grand unveiling ceremony of the bronze statue of general Ye Ting was held on the occasion of the opening of the "Enshi Anti Japanese War Pictures Exhibition" jointly held by the Enshi liaison group of Hubei new Fourth Army history research association, the culture and History Committee of Enshi Prefecture and municipal CPPCC, and the Party History Office to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the victory of Anti Japanese war. Mr. Ye Huaming, son of general Ye Ting and vice chairman of the Shenzhen Municipal Committee of the Chinese people's Political Consultative Conference, and his wife, Ms. Li Shuqing, attended the unveiling ceremony of the bronze statue. Ye Huaming made an affectionate speech and extended his cordial greetings to his 81 year old neighbor he Guixiang. On December 7 of the same year and April 8, 1996, 32 units and schools, including Enshi military division, Hubei University for Nationalities and urban primary and secondary schools, took Ye Ting Memorial Hall as a patriotic education base and held a listing ceremony.
