Background of the Museum

From February 20 to May 5, 1936, Chairman Mao Zedong and commander-in-chief Peng Dehuai led the Chinese people's Red Army's Anti Japanese vanguard army to carry out the famous river crossing eastward expedition, which strengthened the Red Army's strength, promoted the formation of the Anti Japanese national united front, and promoted the development of the anti Japanese national salvation movement. During the Red Army's eastern expedition, Chairman Mao led the headquarters personnel to Yonghe County twice, and lived in Yonghe County for 13 days and nights. In Yonghe, the chairman personally directed the struggle against the enemy in Shanxi; in Yonghe, the chairman organized a military conference to change the policy of "crossing the river to the East and resisting Japan and Chiang Kai Shek" into the strategy of "returning to the West and forcing Chiang Kai Shek to resist Japan"; in Yonghe, the chairman personally directed the Red Army to return to the West in victory.

The eastern expedition to the Anti Japanese aggressors and the westward crossing to avert the crisis. The Red Army's eastward March left a glorious page in the revolutionary history of our party. In 1971, the CPC Linfen prefectural committee held the first plenary meeting in shangtuigan village, Gedi Township, where Chairman Mao lived. Shangtuigan village was renamed Dongzheng village, and the Red Army Dongzheng memorial hall was built. In 1995, 100000 yuan was invested to repair the memorial hall. In 2005, it was rebuilt. On May 12, 2006, the newly built Yonghe Memorial Hall of the Red Army's eastern expedition was inaugurated. At 10 a.m., the opening ceremony was opened with the loud music of "Oriental red". However, when the dark clouds dispersed and the sun gradually showed a smiling face, seven fan-shaped rays suddenly appeared above the Memorial Hall, and the people on the scene could not help cheering. Yonghe county has been listed as a tourism development park in Shanxi Province. It is necessary to speed up the development of red tourism scenic spots and build red tourism scenic spots such as Yonghe Memorial Hall of the Red Army's eastern expedition, Huishi ferry in yujiazui and Red Army cliff, so as to make Yonghe the first choice for red tourism in the city. Yonghe is the only place that Chairman Mao Zedong has ever lived in Linfen; Yonghe has left Chairman Mao's glorious footprints; Yonghe has left many stories about the eastern expedition.

Sha FA Shi

On the mountain road from Jiazui village to the Yellow River beach, there is a rectangular stone, about one meter long and 30 cm wide. There are two semicircular stone nests in the middle of the stone, one large and one small, shaped like a sofa. It is said that when Chairman Mao and commander-in-chief Peng Dehuai led the Red Army to return here, they once sat on this stone and listened to Director Zhang Yunyi's brief report on the Red Army's crossing the river. At that time, the surface of the stone was flat. Later, it was miraculously weathered to its present appearance, so the masses later named this stone "sofa stone". They said that the big one is the place where Chairman Mao once sat, and the small one is the place where President Peng once sat.

Die for Yibai

In the Guandi Temple of shangtuigan village, where Chairman Mao lived in 1936, there is a Kuixing building with a cypress tree more than 1 meter high growing on the roof. Kuixing building is made of brick and wood. The top of the building is made of tile and the wood below is set off. There is only two or three inches of soil. However, this little cypress grows luxuriantly and has survived many droughts. Strangely, on September 9, 1976, Chairman Mao, the great leader, died in Beijing. This little cypress tree died in the winter that year. According to the local people, this little cypress tree grew in the autumn after returning to the army in 1936. It died in the winter of 1976 when Chairman Mao died, and it pointed to Beijing. So the masses called this little cypress "martyred cypress". Whether it's a coincidence or something else is unknown.

Water drops on the fingers of the statue of Chairman Mao on May 12, 2006, after the opening of the memorial hall of the eastern expedition, whenever the sun rises, water seeps out from the fingers of the statue of Chairman Mao's right hand, slowly condenses into water drops and continuously falls. When the sun sets, the drops stop.
