Memorial hall to resist US aggression and aid Korea

The memorial hall is located near Taoyuan Street, Zhenxing District, Dandong City, Liaoning Province, on the beautiful Yinghua mountain in the north of the city center.

Development history

The predecessor of the memorial hall to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea is the Preparatory Office of Liaodong provincial chronicle Museum, which was founded in 1953.

On November 2, 1956, with the approval of Liaoning Provincial Bureau of culture, Anton Museum of historical relics was established, and the former Preparatory Office of Liaodong Provincial Museum of local records was cancelled.

In July 1957, Anton Museum of historical relics opened up the exhibition of "primitive society" and "historical relics", and at the same time, there are 12 exhibition rooms including "memorial room for resisting US aggression and aiding Korea".

On September 29, 1958, with the approval of the central Ministry of culture, the Liaoning Provincial Bureau of culture changed the "Anton historical relics exhibition hall" into "memorial hall for resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea", and Comrade Guo Moruo inscribed the name of the museum.

In 1972 and 1979, the exhibition was restored twice, but because of the narrow building and poor display conditions, it was difficult to reflect the historical features of the war to resist US aggression and aid Korea.

On March 13, 1984, the general office of the CPC Central Committee and the general office of the State Council officially approved that the Liaoning provincial Party committee and the Liaoning provincial government should report to the Dandong Municipal Party committee and the Dandong Municipal government the request for instructions on the expansion of the anti US aggression and aid Korea Memorial hall, and agreed to expand the anti US aggression and aid Korea Memorial Hall in Dandong. Comrade Yang Shangkun gave an important instruction that it is absolutely necessary to build a memorial hall to resist US aggression and aid Korea in Dandong. After 1984, the museum began intensive preparations for expansion. Through site selection, architectural design experts' argumentation, and finally the Central Military Commission twice reviewed the plan, the new site of the museum was determined in Yinghua mountain, Dandong City, the site of the former volunteer command post. The architectural design scheme of Harbin Institute of architectural engineering is selected from 13 architectural design schemes.

On October 24, 1990, on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the Chinese people's Volunteer Army's participation in the Korean War, Hong Xuezhi, vice chairman of the CPPCC National Committee and former deputy commander of the Chinese people's Volunteer Army, led representatives of the Central Committee to Dandong to lay the foundation for the Museum. Leaders of the party, government and army in Liaoning Province and Dandong City, as well as some old leaders and veterans of the former Chinese people's Volunteer Army, attended the foundation laying ceremony.

The construction of the new memorial to resist US aggression and aid Korea started on September 6, 1991.

On July 27, 1993, the 40th anniversary of the signing of the Korean Armistice Agreement, the museum opened.
