In April 2019, Toutiao’s “Finding Martyrs’ descendants” charity project cooperated with the Chibi Martyrs Cemetery Management Office to help volunteer martyrs who have not yet found their relatives in the tombs of 142 Martyrs in Yanglou Cave to find their relatives.
"I hope that through this activity, these volunteer martyrs can return to their hometowns." Zhang Jianping, director of the Chibi Martyrs Cemetery Management Office, said that looking for relatives of martyrs is to promote the heroic spirit and inherit the red gene.

Yangloudong 142 Martyrs Tombs is located in Laoyingpan Chashan, Group 16, Yangloudong Village, Zhaoliqiao Town, Chibi City, covering an area of 9124 square meters and a building area of 4329 square meters. The
tomb complex is a patriotism education base managed by the Chibi Martyrs Cemetery Management, which mainly includes martyrs monuments, memorial halls, memorial squares, martyrs tombs and other martyrs memorial facilities. In 2009, the tomb of 142 martyrs in Yangloudong was listed as the protection unit of the martyrs memorial building in Hubei Province. In 2018, it was listed as the patriotic education base of Hubei Province.
Sleeping here are 142 volunteer martyrs from 24 provinces (cities) and 118 counties (cities, districts) across the country. It is one of the three concentrated burial sites for the Chinese People's Volunteers.
One of the three concentrated burial places for martyrs in China:
In 1951, the Fourth Regiment of the Ninth Division of the Forty Army of the Four Fields stationed in Yangloudong left the station to join the war in North Korea. The barracks vacated by the Fourth Independence Regiment formed the "No. 67 Reserve Hospital of the Chinese People's Liberation Army" (Field Hospital). The hospital admitted to treat more than 3,100 wounded and sick who were transferred from the front lines of the suppression bandits and the Korean War to Resist US Aid Korea.
Due to limited medical conditions at the time, 142 of the seriously injured wounded died one after another from October 29, 1951 to February 4, 1955, and were buried on the hillside. According to "Chibi Civil Affairs Records", these 142 people were later regarded as martyrs.
Martyrs Tombstone
In the fall of 2005, the Chibi CPPCC commissioned Yu Fahai, vice chairman of the Municipal Writers Association and a retired policeman from the Municipal Public Security Bureau, to inspect the tombs of the martyrs in order to write red literature and history.
Yu Fahai went there four times in a row, only to find a few stone piers in the grass near the small hill called "Laoyingpan" by the locals. The grass was opened and it was a bluestone tombstone.
He looked around and watched one by one, and found that some tombstones were broken, and some were incomplete. "Their tombstones should be remembered by the family in the Martyrs Cemetery and let future generations admire them." Yu Fahai said that none of the martyrs buried here were locals. They all shed blood and sacrificed for the country and peace.

Yu Fahai wrote an investigation report on the inquiry and submitted it to the relevant departments. In the spring of 2006, the Propaganda Department of the Chibi Municipal Party Committee, the Municipal People's Armed Forces, Civil Affairs, Public Security, Culture and History and other departments jointly launched an activity for 142 martyrs to find their families in their hometowns.
However, things are not going as expected. Of the more than one hundred letters sent out, one-third of them were returned for "nowhere". Although the place of birth of the martyrs is recorded on the monument, it is not specific to the street or village. At the same time, there are also some provinces that were reorganized and merged after liberation, and some cities, villages and towns merged and changed their names.
These have greatly increased the difficulty of finding relatives for the martyrs.
Now, after 14 years of searching, under the extensive attention of major media and all walks of life across the country, the tombs of 142 martyrs in Yangloudong have found the hometowns and relatives of 116 martyrs in 24 provinces, 108 counties and cities, but there are still 26. The martyrs did not find their relatives.
"hope to be able toThe platform and technical advantages of the article helped these 26 martyrs find relatives as soon as possible. "Chibi City Martyrs Cemetery Management Office Director Zhang Jianping said that the next step will be to further dig out and sort out the touching stories of the heroes, spread the red culture, and let more people be educated and infected.
