business newspaper Ji'nan news (reporter Ren Xiufang) yesterday is Ji'nan "53 Massacre" 83rd anniversary. Ji'nan city held a commemorative activity in the 53 garden of Baotu Spring park. The 53 bronze bell just completed by Baotu Spring Park met with the tourists. "For the next generation of patriotism education should be strengthened, history should not be forgotten, and forgetting equals betrayal," Cai Cai Jinming, the daughter of the martyr, said in an interview with a reporter on the scene.
in May 1928, Japanese imperialism, in order to prevent the northern expedition from the northern expedition, excused Ji'nan on the pretext of "protecting the Diaspora". Since May 3rd, the Chinese military and people and diplomatic officials were massacred. More than 6500 people were killed and more than 1700 were injured. This is the "53 Massacre" in Ji'nan, which shocked both China and foreign countries. The Ji'nan 53 Massacre Memorial Park, located in Baotu Spring Park, was opened in May 2007 with a total area of 2600 square meters, including 53, 53, 53, and 53 kiosks. The bronze statue of Mr. Cai Gong Shi, who was sacrificed in the "53 tragedy" of Ji'nan, was placed in the 53 Memorial Hall. With its rich historical connotation and special commemorative significance, the whole memorial garden has become an important patriotic education base in Shandong.
before the "53 Massacre" 83rd anniversary, the 53 bronze clocks, which were just finished by Baotu Spring Park, arrived from Wuhan to meet with tourists in Ji'nan. The copper clock, which weighs 2.2 tons, replaced the original iron clock for 2 months to solve the rust prevention problem, and the casting process has also been greatly improved. At yesterday's memorial ceremony, people from all walks of life, such as Cai Gong Shi martyr daughter Cai Jinming and others, struck the 53 bell to commemorate martyrs and warn future generations. "We can't forget history, forget to be angry and hit, and we must strengthen our patriotism education for the next generation," Ms. Cai Jinming, 84, said in an interview this year. Before the "53 tragedy" monument in Baotu Spring Park, there were many students and citizens who had gone to commemorate their flowers.
