Introduction to the library

Longhua revolutionary martyrs memorial site is the original display part of Longhua martyrs memorial hall, covering an area of about 30 mu. It is part of the former site of the former Kuomintang Songhu garrison headquarters. The original preservation is relatively complete. It is a revolutionary site of the early urban white area struggle in China. It was listed as a national key cultural relics protection unit in 1988.

As early as before and after the revolution of 1911, it has been the location of the highest local military organization in Shanghai. Its predecessor was the Jiangnan manufacturing branch, commonly known as the arsenal, which was founded in the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty to produce bullets and explosives. At first, it was called Shanghai Garrison and Songhu garrison, then Shanghai martial law headquarters and Songhu commercial port supervision office. In 1927, the national revolutionary army occupied Shanghai, where it successively set up Shanghai Garrison headquarters, Songhu Weixu headquarters and Songhu garrison headquarters. Xiong Shihui, Qian Dajun, Wu Tiecheng, Yang Hucheng and others successively served as commanders here. After the outbreak of the Anti Japanese war in 1937, Shanghai was once transformed into a concentration camp for British and American expatriates. On the eve of liberation, it was changed into a joint logistics arms factory. After the liberation of Shanghai, it was taken over by the Chinese people's Liberation Army and changed to 7315 factory of the Logistics Department of the Nanjing Military Region.
