The firm determination of nationalism. The second relief in the East depicts the "jintian uprising" of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in 185 1. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is the prelude to China's democratic revolution. It put forward the slogan of equality between politics, economy, nationality and men and women, which seriously shook the foundation of feudal rule in Qing Dynasty. On this relief, a group of sons and daughters of Han and Zhuang, armed with broadswords, spears and hoes, are rushing down from the hillside, and the revolutionary flag is flying in the wind.
Turn south to the back of the monument, and you can see the solemn picture of191kloc-0/Wuchang Uprising of Xinhai Revolution. In the middle of the night, the insurgents and citizens destroyed cannons in front of the Governor's Office in Huguang and rushed to the Governor's Office. The burning flame of the governor's residence rose to the sky; The sign of the government building was interrupted in front of the steps; The broken dragon flag of the Qing Dynasty was trampled underground. The Revolution of 1911 ended more than two thousand years of feudal monarchy. The next one is the May 4th patriotic movement. This is the turning point of China's democratic revolution from the old democratic revolution to the new democratic revolution. The relief picture shows students gathering in front of Tiananmen Square to hold patriotic activities.
Demonstration site. A group of young students, male and female, holding the banner of "Abolishing the Conspiracy of Treason", came to Tiananmen Square passionately. Schoolgirls in long skirts and bun are distributing leaflets to the citizens. High in the crowd, a male student is talking to the crowd around him. Angry young speakers and angry crowds filled the whole relief with an exciting atmosphere of hating traitors. The third picture in the south is the May 30th Movement. 1925 On May 30, more than 10,000 people in Shanghai held an anti-imperialist parade on Nanjing Road, and the British patrol fired at unarmed people, causing many deaths and injuries. The "May 30th Massacre" aroused the great indignation of people all over Shanghai and even the whole country, and prompted the outbreak of a nationwide great revolutionary storm. This relief shows the people at all levels led by the working class's resolute struggle against imperialism. On the screen, thousands of workers, students and citizens held the banner of "Down with Imperialism", broke through the sandbags and barbed wire patrolled by Britain and marched bravely. Shops closed and went on strike, and businessmen wearing top hats joined the struggle; The injured worker went on with the help of his comrades-in-arms. Behind the crowd, you can vaguely see the customs and bank buildings on the Bund.
To the west of the monument, the first one is the relief of "August 1st Nanchang Uprising". The picture shows the scene of this great uprising from the perspective of a company. On the morning of August 1927, a commander announced the uprising to the soldiers with his left hand. The soldiers held high the signal of the uprising-lanterns, glorious red flags raised, war horses roared, working people helped carry bullets, and the soldiers shouted enthusiastically. Nanchang Uprising fired the first shot at the Kuomintang reactionaries and launched a struggle against counter-revolutionary armed forces with revolutionary armed forces. Followed by "Anti-Japanese Guerrilla War Behind the Enemy", the relief shows the scene of guerrilla war behind the enemy lines in Taihang Mountain area during War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's period. From a distance, on a majestic mountainside, guerrillas are fighting the enemy through tall trees and dense green tents. In the picture, young male and female farmers are holding shovels and carrying homemade mines; The white-haired mother sent a gun to her son to fight against the Japanese aggressors; The young man stood beside the commander, waiting for orders, ready to go into battle to destroy the enemy.
Finally, before coming to the monument, I saw the relief of the million heroes of the People's Liberation Army "crossing the river to liberate all China" during the Liberation War, which is the largest of the ten reliefs. The Yangtze River, which the Kuomintang thought could not be crossed, was successfully crossed by the heroic and invincible People's Liberation Army. On the relief, the trumpeter sounded the charge; The commander raised his right hand and fired flares into the sky again and again; Soldiers who have landed behind enemy lines, stepping on the banner of reactionaries, rushed to Nanjing, the home of Kuomintang reactionary rule; Countless warships behind are advancing in the waves. On both sides of this relief, there are two decorative reliefs. On the left, on the eve of crossing the river, workers carry stretchers, farmers carry rations, and women send military shoes to enthusiastically support the front line. On the right are people from all walks of life across the country holding red flags, flowers and fruits to welcome and comfort the PLA.
