北仑烈士纪念馆

The Beilun Martyrs Memorial park is located in Beilun. Us students went on a journey to find the purpose of this remote park. From what we encountered we learned that Beilun was the border line between 2 territories- Japan and China in WWII. The park was built in the year 2000 by the government to honor the people who died during the world war 2. Once we entered the park, we saw two busts followed by information. The woman who guided us through the park said that these two people were the most important- in her opinion. The names of the important people were 胡焦琴 (hu jiao qin) and 李敏 (li min).

The importance of the Beilun Martyrs Park to admire the people who died in honor for Beilun. In the building, of the 97 people, many's age ranged from children to teenagers. So we're trying to assume that they all had relationship with the war that was occurring. Inside the park there is a building- in the building it is full of pictures, short-bios, and items from the people who died in Beilun.

Due to the fact that it is in such a remote area not many people visit the park. Therefore we dont think a lot of people know about the memorial park.

From the experience many of students felt very interested with the history of beilun, just from the park. One of us said that they thought it was very humble of the government to build it just for the people who had passed away. It was a wonderful way of honoring the people. Now we know a little bit more about how Beilun was in the past.
