The sand table uses acousto-optic technology to condense the time and space of more than half a century ago. The fragments of the feature film Dong Cunrui let people enjoy the historical moments of shaking the world and crying ghosts. The precious pictures and cultural relics reflect the glory of a great soldier Lifetime.

The hexagonal pavilion on the second floor of the memorial hall is the inscription hall, with inscriptions, calligraphy and painting works of Party and state leaders and celebrities from all walks of life.

On August 1, 2003, the name of the memorial hall was changed to "Dong Cunrui Memorial Hall" inscribed by Jiang Zemin, chairman of the Central Military Commission.

Personal story

In the history of the people's army led by the Communist Party of China, Dong Cunrui's reputation will never die. The story of his sacrificing his life to blow up blockhouses has spread all over China, and his spirit of dedicating himself to new China has become an example for generations of people's soldiers.

After more than two years in the army, he made three major achievements and four minor achievements, and won the Mao Zedong medal

Dong Cunrui was born on October 15, 1929 in a poor peasant family in nanshanbao, Huailai County, Chahar province (today's Hebei Province). When he was 7 years old, he went to school for a few days and then dropped out of school because of poverty. After the outbreak of the Anti Japanese War, his hometown became an anti Japanese guerrilla area. When he was 13 years old, he once covered the cadres of the Eighth Route Army and became the head of the children's regiment. Young Dong Cunrui is smart and has a lot of backbone. He is known as "Wang erxiao of nanshanbao".

In 1940, the area around nanshanbao in Huailai became an anti Japanese guerrilla area. Comrade Dong Cunrui joined the children's regiment and was elected head of the regiment. He led the children's League members to stand guard, send chicken feather messages, publicize the masses, look at the enemy, cover the cadres, actively cooperate with the rent and interest reduction movement and the Anti Japanese struggle, and gained training in the struggle.

In the spring of 1945, Dong Cunrui joined the local Anti Japanese self defense force and the Eighth Route Army in July of the same year. At the beginning of April 1946, during the encounter in dushikou, an important town in northern Qaidam, he won a machine gun of the enemy tactfully and was awarded a medal for bravery.

In the sniping battle in changanling at the beginning of 1947, when the squad leader died and the deputy squad leader was seriously injured, he stood up as the squad leader, completed the sniping task on schedule and made great achievements again. Before his sacrifice, he made three major and four minor achievements, and won three medals for bravery and one medal for Mao Zedong. In March 1947, Comrade Dong Cunrui joined the Communist Party of China with honor. After joining the party, he was more strict with himself and played a leading role in political thought, marching and fighting, learning, discipline, mass work and uniting comrades. In March 1947, when our army attacked dushikou, an important town in Chabei, the enemy's machine gun blocked the way for the troops to advance. He threw himself on it, grabbed the burning machine gun barrel that was being fired, grabbed the enemy's machine gun, took down the power point, and wiped out all the enemies. He was brave in fighting, resourceful and flexible. He made three major and four minor achievements successively, and won three medals for bravery and one medal for Mao Zedong. He became a hero of the people.

Comrade Dong Cunrui hated the enemy and was very enthusiastic about his comrades in arms. In life, he is the first to bear hardships and the last to enjoy. He gives convenience to his comrades in arms and takes good care of every comrade enthusiastically. In ideology, he often works patiently and meticulously to raise the comrades' class consciousness and make them feel the warmth of the revolutionary army. Comrade Dong Cunrui loves the masses and often helps them work and solve difficulties. He once took off his clothes and gave them to the victims of the enemy. He also risked the fire and smoke and the explosion of grenades to save the two children of the villagers.

In March 1947, during Pingbei training, Dong Cunrui joined the party. After Mao Zedong put forward the call of "down with Chiang Kai Shek and liberate the whole of China", the troops in various strategic areas began to practice urban tough battles one after another.

In those days, the PLA did not have any planes or tanks, and its main task was to carry out blasting with limited artillery and infantry. The class led by Dong Cunrui was praised as "Dong Cunrui's model class for military training" by the leaders of division and regiment. He was also awarded the title of "model blaster".

Before the battle of Longhua, Dong Cunrui, who won the title of "blasting marshal" in the contest, expressed his determination on behalf of everyone: "even if I turn into earth after death, I will fill the outer trench of Longhua middle school."

At the beginning of May 1948, Dong Cunrui's troops took part in the battle of jirecha. Longhua County is the Gongwei of Chengde, the capital of Rehe province. The enemy built a large number of blockhouses here in advance, and some special built secret fortresses are also called "model fortifications". Comrade Dong Cunrui was awarded the glorious title of "model blaster" in the live ammunition drill.

On May 25, 1948, the battle against Longhua County began. Dong Cunrui's sixth company is responsible for pulling out the enemy's core position - Longhua middle school. Just before departure, Dong Cunrui, who was the leader of the blasting group and won the "blasting marshal" in the competition, expressed his determination on behalf of everyone: "even if I turn into earth after death, I will fill the outer trench of Longhua middle school and let everyone step on us to take Longhua down!" He led his comrades in arms to blow up three enemy turrets and five bunkers one after another. After opening the peripheral fortifications in the northeast corner of Longhua middle school, the enemy's machine guns hidden in the bridge shaped castle on the dry river outside the wall suddenly opened fire. The troops suffered serious casualties, and the assault was blocked, while the comrades sent to blast fell down one by one in the middle.

Facing the fierce fire of the enemy's blockhouse, Dong Cunrui asked for a fight again and rushed to the bottom of the bridge under the cover of his comrades in arms. At this time, his left leg was broken by the enemy's machine gun, the bottom of the castle was still a little high from the dry river bed, the river bank on both sides was steep, and the explosives he placed twice slipped down because there was no wooden buttress. At this time, the charge has been sounded, and more comrades in arms will die if it is delayed for one minute. Dong Cunrui decided to use his body as a support and left hand as a support
