General Deng Ping's introduction

Deng Ping, formerly known as Deng Ping, was born in 1908 in Fushun, Sichuan Province. At the end of 1926, he was admitted to Wuhan Central Military and political school, joined the Communist Youth League at school, and soon transferred to the Communist Party of China. In the autumn of 1927, he was assigned to the first regiment of the fifth Hunan independent division of the National Revolutionary Army, headed by Peng Dehuai. He served as secretary of the Communist Party branch and Youth League Committee of the Communist Party of China.

In July 1928, he participated in the organization and leadership of the Pingjiang uprising and served as chief of staff of the Fifth Army of the Chinese workers' and peasants' Red Army and Secretary of the Military Commission of the Fifth Army of the Red Army of the Communist Party of China. He participated in leading the opening up of the Hunan Hubei Jiangxi Soviet area. In the winter of the same year, he, Peng Dehuai and Teng Daiyuan led the main forces of the 5th Red Army to Jinggangshan to take part in the struggle to defend the Jinggangshan revolutionary base. In June 1930, he served as chief of staff of the 3rd Red Army and chief of the 5th Red Army. He took part in commanding the 3rd Red Army to carry out the Changsha campaign and in all the counter "encirclement and suppression" campaigns in the Central Soviet area. In July 1933, he also served as chief of staff of the eastern army of the Red Army and participated in the operations of the headquarters in Fujian. In the Central Soviet Area, Deng Ping fought South and North with outstanding achievements and became a famous general of the Red Army. During the period, he served as the chief educator of the accompanying schools of the 5th Red Army, participated in the preparation for the construction of the Red Army School for workers and peasants, served as the deputy chief commander and chief educator, and trained a large number of red army cadres.

In January 1934, he was elected as the alternate executive member of the Central Committee of the Soviet Republic of China. In October of the same year, he took part in the long march and assisted Peng Dehuai in commanding the red 3 corps as the right vanguard to cover the main breakthrough of the central organs of the Communist Party of China and the first front army of the Red Army. On February 27, 1935, he died bravely at the front line of Zunyi campaign. He was only 27 years old.

Deng Ping's remains were found in gantianba, the old city, in the summer of 1957 under the care of Peng Dehuai, then Minister of national defense and commander of the third Red Army during the long march.

In the ten years of the "Cultural Revolution", the tombstone of "Comrade Deng Ping's tomb" written by Peng Dehuai was pulled down. It was not until after the end of the "Cultural Revolution" and the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee that the tombstone was rebuilt, and the six characters of "Comrade Deng Ping's tomb" restored again. In October 1979, Comrade Zhang Aiping wrote an epitaph for the tomb of martyr Deng Ping. In 1984, in order to build the "monument to the Red Army martyrs", Deng Ping's tomb was moved to the north of the monument. A marble epitaph was inlaid in front of the tomb, and the epitaph was inscribed with Zhang Aiping's handwriting.

Red Army grave

"Red Army grave": it is the tomb of the Red Army Health Officer long Siquan, whose name is the collection of Mao Zedong's hands. Long Siquan, a native of Guangxi, joined the Baise uprising in 1929 and joined the Communist Party of China. After the first World War in Zunyi, the Red Army sacrificed in the treatment of the masses in sangmuya, Southeast of Zunyi. It was once called "Red Army Bodhisattva" by the masses.

Up the stairs, there are green pines and cypresses all over the mountain. A huge red sandstone tomb is hidden in the green, in which the ashes of Deng Ping, chief of staff of the third Red Army are buried. There is also a green stone round grave on the mountain. In front of the grave stands a stone tablet with three characters "Red Army grave". Inside was buried a red army health worker who was killed by the enemy for the treatment of Zunyi people.

Four heads and 28 stars

The significance of the four heads and 28 stars on the red army mountain square is as follows:

Four 5-meter-high head portraits of the Red Army: the image of the old Red Army in the southeast, the image of the young red army in the southwest, the image of the red guards in the northeast, and the image of the female Red Army in the northwest, implying the prestige of the Red Army.

The outer wall is inlaid with 28 shining stars, which symbolizes that the Communist Party of China has won the national power after 28 years of hard struggle.

On the present situation of Deng Ping's tomb

In July 2011, students from summer practice activities of Nanjing University came to the red army mountain in Zunyi for an investigation. Combined with the current situation of Zhongshan Mausoleum in Nanjing, some suggestions on the publicity of the red relics are put forward.

By comparing Zhongshan Mausoleum with Hongjun mountain, the practice group thinks that the influence of Hongjun mountain and its surrounding red revolutionary sites should be expanded from the following aspects

① From the introduction of Zhongshan Mausoleum, we can know that the reason why Zhongshan Mausoleum can attract so many tourists is not only because of its unique architectural style, but also because of its profound historical heritage. The builders have excavated the history related to the mausoleum more deeply, and the information is more comprehensive, which can make tourists feel the history as a whole, with detailed text and picture information and cultural relics display Let tourists in the historical environment, naturally can get praise. The red army mountain and other relics are insufficient in this aspect. What history leaves us is not just a monument or a holy mountain, but a spirit that needs tourists to go deep into it to understand and feel. However, the red army mountain has not done enough in this aspect. The display of historical materials and pictures is less, which can not provide tourists with a historical atmosphere to perceive history.

② To expand the influence of the red revolutionary relics, it should not only be a matter of the state and local governments, but a huge project that should be fully involved. However, according to a small-scale field interview, most of the people regard the red army mountain as a place for walking, fitness and leisure, and few of them aim to visit and pay homage to the martyrs. Therefore, it is imperative to arouse people's passion for red culture and strengthen their cognition of red culture.
