Ding Youjun Martyrs Cemetery is a cultural relic protection unit and patriotic education base in Sichuan Province. Located in Youjun Town, 3 1 km west of Xichang City, accessible by Ximu Highway, it is an open park. It was built in September, 1952, to commemorate the famous heroine Ding Youjun in the 1950s. When it was first built, there were monuments, pavilions, tombs of martyrs and other facilities. During the Cultural Revolution, the cemetery was destroyed, and all other facilities were destroyed except the tomb of the martyrs.
Since then, 1980, 1986 and 2000, the relevant departments have raised funds three times to enrich and transform it. The reformed Martyrs Cemetery covers an area of about 1 1,000 square meters, with a construction area of 400 square meters. In addition to the newly-built exhibition hall for martyrs, tablet pavilions and statues of white marble martyrs, new facilities such as walls, gates, roads, reception rooms and management rooms have been built.
The exhibition hall is located on the west side of the Martyrs Cemetery, displaying more than 40 precious cultural relics such as clothes, stationery books, poems, letters and photos of martyrs used by Ding Youjun before his death. Inscriptions by Zhu De, Li Jingquan, Liao, Zhang Xiushu, Liang and other central and local leading comrades. From 65438 to 0984, Xichang Municipal Government changed Hexi Township, where martyrs worked and sacrificed, into a friendly town. Ding Youjun Martyrs Cemetery has become an important position of patriotism, collectivism and heroism for the broad masses of the people, especially young people.
