People's Heroes Monument
The Monument to the People's Heroes is located in the center of Tiananmen Square in the capital city of Beijing. It bears extremely profound historical significance and is a solemn monument specially built to commemorate the martyrs who sacrificed heroically for the revolutionary cause in China's modern history.
More than 170 figures are meticulously carved on the body of this heroic monument. These figures have different postures and are vividly lifelike. They present the great historical facts of the Chinese people's revolution in the past nearly one hundred years in a highly generalized yet extremely vivid way, as if slowly unfolding that moving historical picture scroll before people's eyes, enabling everyone who comes to pay their respects to deeply feel the heroic fearlessness and dedication spirit of the revolutionary predecessors.
On the front side of the monument body, the eight characters "The people's heroes are immortal" inscribed by Chairman Mao Zedong himself are engraved. These eight characters are powerful and vigorous, demonstrating the highest respect and deep commemoration for the revolutionary martyrs. On the back side of the monument body, the inscription drafted by Chairman Mao Zedong and written by Premier Zhou Enlai is engraved. That inscription is solemn and solemn, and every line and word tells the hardships and greatness of the revolutionary history and commemorates the immortal feats of the heroes.
The Monument to the People's Heroes has already become an indelible and precious memory in the hearts of the older generation, carrying the years and emotions they have experienced. At the same time, it is also an important place for the younger generation to learn history and inherit the revolutionary spirit. As long as people come to Tiananmen Square, they will surely come here with a respectful heart to pay the highest tribute to the heroic martyrs who dedicated everything to the country and the people, and carry out commemorative activities, so that the spirit of the heroes can be passed down forever.
