Historical evolution

The pan Daizhuang massacre took place on December 5, 1942. On December 4, the Japanese cavalry stationed in Zhanggezhuang, Luan county, learned of the news of the activities of our first district team in Chengzhuang, immediately gathered Zhanggezhuang and sigezhuang strongholds, and the Japanese and puppet forces rushed to attack all night. On December 5, more than 250 Japanese puppet troops headed by Suzuki shin, the leader of Japanese cavalry stationed in Zhanggezhuang, took revenge on the people of panjiadaizhuang under the command of Suzuki Qijiu, major general of the 27th division and 27th infantry regiment. One day, 1280 innocent people were slaughtered, more than 1000 houses were burned, and all the property was robbed. The scene of the killing was appalling. 30 babies were killed in Luqiao, 60 pregnant women were killed, 27 families were killed, and 31 families were left with orphans and widows. The Japanese puppet army took extremely brutal means such as spear picking, stick beating and burying alive to create the biggest "thousand people pit" tragedy in Eastern Hebei during the Anti Japanese war.

In June 1956, the special military court of the Supreme People's Court of the people's Republic of China tried eight Japanese war criminals in Shenyang. Zhou Shuen, the representative of the survivors of the tragedy, was invited to testify in court.

In 1952, the Tangshan regional Commissioner's office presided over the construction of the "memorial tower for the martyred compatriots of panjiadaizhuang during the Anti Japanese War" in the southwest of panjiadaizhuang village;

In 1967, LUANNAN COUNTY built a memorial hall to display the remains of the tragedy;

In 1971, the Revolutionary Committee of LUANNAN COUNTY moved the memorial tower to the site of the "thousand people's pit" massacre and renamed it "the memorial to the martyred sun of panjiadaizhuang in the Anti Japanese war.",

It was destroyed by Tangshan earthquake in 1976;

On July 7, 1991, the people's Government of LUANNAN COUNTY rebuilt the monument to the site of the great tragedy.

In November 1997, the province, city and county jointly invested in the construction of the panjiadaizhuang Massacre Memorial Hall;

The museum officially opened on December 9, 2000.

The black granite lining wall behind the monument is engraved with two groups of eye-catching figures: "1942" and "1280 people died", which shows that people should not forget that 1280 compatriots died here in 1942, and the gap in the middle of the lining wall is a metaphor for the cry and accusation of the victims.

There are 6 exhibition rooms in the west, 3 exhibition rooms in the north, 2 guest rooms and 1 office. The memorial tower is located in the east of the center of the memorial. In the exhibition room are displayed the spades, pickaxes, shoulder poles and other weapons used by the Japanese aggressors to kill our compatriots, as well as the bedding, clothes and other remains of the victims and the bones of the dead. There are also more than 100 posters, clay sculptures, physical photos and photos of survivors reflecting the scenes of the tragedy and people's struggle at that time.

Lobby

On the front of the hall is a huge computer inkjet painting with a width of 14 meters and a height of 3.4 meters. The whole picture is combined and displayed with real cultural relics with montage techniques. The main body of the picture is the half body photo of Zhou Shuen, a survivor of the tragedy, who appeared in court to testify in the special military court. Behind him are pages of accusations written by the survivors, eyewitnesses and family members of the victims, detailing the process of the tragedy. The accusations are full of villagers' fingerprints, scarlet and shocking. At the bottom of the picture is a real scene from the documentary film "iron evidence", in which a surviving old woman is crying out for heaven and earth in the face of numerous bones. In the lower right corner of the picture is a picture of the Japanese war criminal and the tragedy planner Suzuki Qijiu kneeling down to apologize when he was tried. Behind him is the record of his trial, which records the course of his crime. In front of him is his confession. On both sides, on the west side is a picture of the people mourning the dead, and on the east side is a huge picture of the Japanese delegation coming here to apologize. In the center of the hall, there are also pebble grooves and horizontal steles, engraved with forewords, so the space division is reasonable. The whole Prelude hall is magnificent with authentic materials and ingenious combination. It directly cuts into the theme and opens the prelude of the exhibition.

The first exhibition room displays a large amount of material materials about the Japanese aggressors' implementation of the three light policy.

The second exhibition room is the content of "just trial" and "alarm bell ringing".

The third room is the live display. The exhibition shows part of the tragic scene excavated by the provincial, municipal and county cultural relic departments. In the 17.6-meter-long pit excavated, the shape of the bones of 21 victims is appalling. Some of these bones are separated from each other; some are hugged by relatives; some are the fetus atrophied in the placenta; some are the children's heads flattened by blunt instruments; some are shouting, shouting and accusing with their mouths open.

The fourth exhibition room is the unearthed part of CHANGKENG, but four more skeletons were found during the construction, which were protected on the spot.

The main features of the auxiliary exhibition are that the contents of the exhibition are closely related to the theme and the materials are used in detail. The auxiliary exhibition consists of two exhibition halls, the East and the West. The first part of the exhibition hall on the west side is "crazy invasion", which reveals "Nine" with full and accurate pictures and text materials After the "18th" incident, the Japanese aggressors carried out the "three light policy" in China, Eastern Hebei and other areas of LUANNAN to carry out the barbaric atrocities of crazy aggression. The second part is "three light ironclad evidence", which introduces the process of Pan jiadaizhuang's "thousand people pit" massacre to the audience in model, object, picture and other display language, which makes people feel as if they are on the scene and shocking. The front section of the East Exhibition Hall is the third part of "justice trial", which mainly reflects the victory of Cui Xinzhuangzi's Revenge battle, the fall of Japanese puppet agents who participated in the panjiadaizhuang massacre after liberation and the trial of Suzuki Qijiu in 1956. The fourth part is "alarm bell ringing", which briefly introduces the previous construction of towers, steles, museums, patriotic education by using the site of the tragedy and the situation of people at home and abroad. The four parts all focus on the tragedy and organize materials with distinct themes and compact cohesion.

The second floor is the auxiliary display, which integrates the tragedy, site and memorial. The shape of the central roof truss at the top is reminiscent of the ruins of panjiadaizhuang after being burned by the fire for three days and three nights, and the large iron bells hanging at both ends warn people not to forget national humiliation. The gray cornice, white wall and rough mushroom stone on the front of the main hall give people a heavy, indignant and permanent sense of memory.
