Chapter 29 Better fight to die than surrender——Record of Martyr Xie Jinyuan

This is an ode to heroes, and it is also a battle song that mobilizes thousands of compatriots to go to the battlefield and fight the enemy bravely to defend the motherland.The leader Xie sung in the song is the anti-Japanese national hero Xie Jinyuan. Xie Jinyuan, courtesy name Zhongmin, was born on April 28, 1905, in the suburb of Jiankeng, Tongfu Township, Jiaoling County, Guangdong Province.Jiaoling, formerly known as Zhenping, is located in the northeast of Guangdong, adjacent to Fujian and Jiangxi, and its residents are Hakka people. Xie Jinyuan's father, Xie Faxiang, was a small trader, and his mother, Li Shi, was a simple and kind-hearted fisherman's daughter.Xie Jinyuan has a total of nine brothers and sisters. Due to the pressure of life at home, after his elder brother became an adult, he took his five younger sisters to Nanyang.

When Xie Jinyuan was studying in his hometown, influenced by the ideas of the Revolution of 1911, he set his ambition to resist foreign aggression and serve the country for the people.He studied at Yumin School, Sanzhen Public School, Hui County National Middle School, and later entered Sun Yat-Sen University Preparatory Course. In 1925, Xie Jinyuan entered the Whampoa Military Academy to study. In the autumn of 1926, he graduated from the fourth political department of the Whampoa Military Academy at the age of 22.At that time, it happened that the National Revolutionary Army was making a northern expedition from Ceyuan, Guangdong, and he had participated in the battles of Longyou and Tonglu.At the age of twenty-six, he served as a lieutenant company commander.Because of his bravery in the battle against the disaster bandit Liu Guitang, he was later transferred to the Cai Tingkai Department of the Nineteenth Route Army.Soon, he became a partner with Ling Weicheng in Hankou.

On the eve of the Songhu Anti-Japanese War, Xie Jinyuan followed the 88th Division of the Fifth Army from Wuxi to Shanghai to fight against Japan.Soon, he was ordered to lead the 524th Regiment of the 262nd Brigade to station at the North Railway Station.Here, he took the lead, fought bloody battles, stubbornly resisted the enemy, and held his position for more than two months. In the battle against the Japanese army, the feat of Xie Jinyuan and the eight hundred heroes has written a glorious page in the history of the heroes of the Chinese nation defending the motherland. Long before the July 7th Incident, Xie Jinyuan, like countless sons and daughters of the Chinese nation, was worried about the Japanese invasion.He sharpened his sword and put his sword to work, always ready to kill the enemy.

In 1936, Xie Jinyuan sent his wife Ling Weicheng and their children back to their hometown in Guangdong in order to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.Later, in his letter to Ling Weicheng, he expressed his determination to kill the enemy for the country in order to avoid the disaster of subjugation and genocide. He wrote in the letter: Half of the rivers and mountains are being eaten away every day, and the disaster of subjugation and extinction of the country is caused by others, but it is up to me.Killing the enemy for the country is the basic ambition of a revolutionary soldier.And soldiers should not have a family. I have a family now, and the double door is wrapped in thin oaks, and I have few relatives.My heart is not iron and stone, can there be no spring?But the responsibility lies in serving the country and not being able to take care of the family.The comfort of the old relatives, the upbringing of the children, and all the measures of housework, Lao Qing takes full responsibility, and the distraction of the conscripts is also reduced.

On August 13, 1937, the Shanghai War broke out.In order to fight against the Japanese aggressors, the Chinese army, with the strong support of the people, fought a three-month long battle with the Japanese aggressors.In this war, Xie Jinyuan led his troops to stop the enemy bravely.After the head of the regiment was killed, he was appointed as the head of the regiment attached. On October 26, the enemy broke through the Dachang defense line and attacked Zhabei area frantically.As the Chinese army was facing the enemy on its back, they were in a very disadvantageous situation and were forced to retreat.When dozens of divisions and hundreds of thousands of people retreated, Xie Jinyuan was ordered to lead the 524th regiment to take on the cover task.At eleven o'clock that night, after the Chinese defenders retreated, Xie Jinyuan was ordered to gather all the officers and soldiers of the first battalion to guard the Shanghai Sixing Warehouse.

After receiving the order to concentrate, the four companies of the first battalion concentrated on the Sixing Warehouse.Because the troops were scattered at that time and the enemy's artillery fire was fierce, it was around two o'clock in the morning the next day when the troops were assembled.There are more than 500 people in this battalion. In addition to rifles and grenades, the entire battalion has 27 light machine guns, two heavy machine guns, and two anti-aircraft machine guns. After the troops were concentrated, Xie Jinyuan immediately scouted the terrain around the Sixing Warehouse and set up positions.

The Sixing Warehouse, originally the warehouse of the Continental Bank, is located on the west side of the Hebei Tibet Road Bridge in Suzhou.This is a seven-story building with thick walls and solid walls, easy to defend but difficult to attack.Inside the warehouse, there are thousands of bags of grain, as well as a lot of cowhide and other materials.The west and north sides of the warehouse are the boundaries of China, both of which were occupied by the Japanese army; the east side of the warehouse is Xizang Road, which belongs to the public concession; the south of the warehouse is Suzhou Creek, which is also a public concession.In fact, it has become an island.

After entering the Sixing Warehouse, Xie Jinyuan expressed his determination to fight to the end.He asked all officers and soldiers to swear to live and die with the country.He said to his subordinates: "This is the tomb of all of us. As long as there is one person, this land belongs to China!" fortifications.The fortifications here are quite solid.All doors and windows were blocked with sandbags.Not far from the southeast corner of the Sixing Warehouse, there is a small building of a cigarette paper shop. The officers and soldiers dug a hole from the warehouse to communicate with this small building.Fortifications were also built inside and outside the small building, leaving only one window upstairs.This window is the only exit for the Sixing Warehouse to communicate with the outside world.

When Xie Jinyuan commanded the officers and soldiers to rush to repair the fortifications of the small building, a foreign reporter handed a ball of paper to the window of the small building and asked how many Chinese troops were in the Sixing Warehouse.Xie Jinyuan told the reporter: "We have 800 people." In this way, with the sound of gunfire against the Japanese invaders, the names of the 800 heroes spread one after another. When the eight hundred warriors were preparing to fight to the end and meet the enemy, the British garrison defending the concession once sent someone to tell Xie Jinyuan that as long as the Chinese army was willing to disarm, they were willing to ensure the safe withdrawal of the Chinese defenders.It is of course absolutely unacceptable to ask Xie Jinyuan and the eight hundred heroes to lay down their weapons.Xie Jinyuan immediately stated on behalf of the eight hundred strong men: "Our soul can leave our body, but the gun cannot leave our hands. Without an order, we will not retreat even if we die!"

After dawn on the 27th, the enemy discovered that the Chinese troops had withdrawn.Therefore, they carefully advanced to the positions abandoned by the Chinese defenders.When the enemy approached the Sixing Warehouse, they found that there were Chinese troops there. Because they did not know the situation of the Chinese defenders, the enemy did not dare to attack easily.They first carried out reconnaissance with firepower, and at two o'clock in the afternoon, the enemy began to pounce on the Sixing Warehouse. Although the enemy had planes and artillery, they did not dare to bomb the Sixing Warehouse, for fear that stray bullets would fly to the concession and cause international disputes.Therefore, when the enemy attacked the Sixing Warehouse, they could only use machine guns and rifles, but they were very arrogant. They shouted and shot the Sixing Warehouse violently.When the enemy approached the Sixing Warehouse, Xie Jinyuan gave an order, machine guns and rifles rang out, and the enemy threw away his armor and armor, and retreated in embarrassment.In this battle, dozens of enemies were killed, but the 800 strong men suffered almost no losses.Seeing the 800 strong men fighting bravely with the enemy, the crowd watching the battle in the concession on the south bank of the Suzhou River all clapped their hands and cheered.

In the early morning of the 28th, two soldiers of the Japanese army were about to attack the Sixing Warehouse, but Xie Jinyuan discovered them. He rushed forward with a stride, bent down suddenly, grabbed the gun in the enemy's hand with his left hand, and grabbed the enemy's neck with his right hand.Seeing that the situation was not good, the other enemy was about to turn around and escape, but Xie Jinyuan also ended his life. People admired his wit and decisive spirit very much, and praised him as a hero. The heroic struggle of the eight hundred heroes is also a great encouragement to the masses of the people.On this day, Girl Scout Yang Huimin risked his life to deliver a national flag to the Sixing Warehouse. When the national flag was raised upstairs and fluttered in the wind, the audience burst into applause.Afterwards, people from all walks of life sent comfort items to the eight hundred heroes.Trucks drove along the north bank of the Suzhou River to the east side of Tibet Road and Bridge, and people handed all kinds of food and medicine into the window of the cigarette paper shop. The patriotic enthusiasm of the people further inspired the determination of the eight hundred heroes to fight the enemy.Facing the encirclement and attack of the enemy, they showed a more fearless spirit. At dawn on the 29th, the Japanese invaders launched another attack on the Sixing Warehouse.Under the command of Xie Jinyuan, eight hundred strong men rose up to intercept the enemy, causing many casualties to the enemy.When the enemy rushed to the downstairs of the Sixing Warehouse, a strong man was strapped with grenades, and suddenly jumped into the enemy group from the upstairs of the warehouse. With the loud sound of the grenade, more than 20 enemies were immediately killed Blow up.This strong man also died a heroic sacrifice. This afternoon, when the enemy attacked the Sixing Warehouse again, Xie Jinyuan gave an order and fired violently at the enemy. More than half of the Japanese troops were killed and injured, and they were forced to retreat. After the day's fighting was over, Xie Jinyuan wrote the following letter to the division commander: He also wrote a poem: "Bravely killed the enemy's 800 soldiers, and the heroism of resisting the enemy is expressed in poetry. Whoever loves the country and tears a thousand lines is angry when it comes to Japanese pirates." At the same time, Xie Jinyuan also sent a letter to a certain group saying: "Soldiers take obedience as their bounden duty. To protect the country and defend the land, it is their duty to spill the last drop of blood, and they will demand a considerable price from the Japanese pirates; The enemy will fight to the end." On this day, He Xiangning wrote to Xie Jinyuan and the eight hundred heroes, praising their high revolutionary spirit and heroism, and hoped that they would fight to the end. He Xiangning said in the letter: Each of you has a revolutionary spirit and a spirit of sacrifice. Whether you are benevolent or successful, you can look up to them without shame.The soldiers who died for the country will be greater because of you; the soldiers on the front line will be more heroic because of you.The compatriots across the country will be more united because of you; the international people will also be able to uphold justice because of you.I have tried to send you some first-aid and food, as a token of my gratitude.I hope you will fight hard, fight hard, and sacrifice to the end. At around 5:00 p.m. on October 30, the British garrison sent someone to tell the 800 strong men that the Japanese army would attack the Sixing Warehouse at 7 o’clock. The British garrison was willing to help the defenders retreat into the concession and ensure their personal safety.Xie Jinyuan and the eight hundred heroes declined the kindness of the British garrison, and once again expressed their determination to live and die with the position. Before the Japanese army launched a general attack on the eight hundred heroes, Xie Jinyuan led the eight hundred heroes to actively prepare for the battle.All of them expressed their determination to keep this piece of land of the motherland no matter how high the price they paid.At this time, Song Ziwen called Xie Jinyuan from the Bank of China warehouse and asked him to lead the troops to withdraw into the public concession.After Xie Jinyuan received the call, he expressed his determination to fight the Japanese invaders to the end and would never evacuate. But Song Ziwen told him that soldiers should take obeying orders as their bounden duty.In this way, they had to start retreating. Before the eight hundred warriors had time to retreat, the Japanese army launched a general attack on the Sixing Warehouse.The warriors still bravely intercepted the enemy.After fighting until dark, the Japanese invaders illuminated the southeast corner of the Sixing Warehouse with searchlights, and continued to attack by the lights.After the eight hundred warriors destroyed the enemy's searchlights, they began to retreat in the darkness. They tore down a fortification at the entrance of the cigarette paper shop, boarded the counter inside the shop, and jumped out of the house one by one. Under the cover of three machine guns, they finally broke out of the enemy line, retreated from the new garbage bridge into the concession, and came to the warehouse of the Bank of China.In this retreat, Xie Jinyuan was the last to leave the Sixing Warehouse. From October 27th to the early morning of October 31st, Xie Jinyuan led 800 strong men. After four days and nights of fierce confrontation, he repelled the enemy's attack of more than 10,000 people, killed more than 200 enemies, and wounded the enemy. Countless, destroying two enemy tanks.Of the 800 strong men, there were only more than 30 casualties. After Xie Jinyuan led 800 strong men to retreat into the concession, they were disarmed.Afterwards, Xie Jinyuan came to an office on the ground floor of the Bank of China warehouse.At this time, his face was pale, his eyes were red, and tears were streaming down his face. He was extremely sad and angry.When he was talking with Major Ma Fei, the captain of the British Army, he broke down in tears. At eleven o'clock in the morning that day, Xie Jinyuan and Eight Hundred Zhuangshi took a car to the Solitary Army Camp on Jiaozhou Road in West Shanghai. On their way to the lone barracks, there were welcome crowds everywhere.People applauded warmly to the heroes of the War of Resistance, paid tribute to them, and shouted: "Long live the heroes of the Anti-Japanese War!" "Down with Japanese imperialism!" Seeing all this, Xie Jinyuan was very excited. People raised their hands in salute. The barracks of the Solitary Army Camp are located in an open space opposite No. 40 Xinjiapo Road, Huxi, covering an area of ​​tens of acres, separated from Jiaozhou Park by a wall.In this uneven and full of rubbish, there are tents of all sizes. The big tents are all around, and the small tents are in the middle.There is a strong barbed wire fence around the entire barracks.The gate of the barracks is guarded by Baierding, a merchant group from all nations.Xie Jinyuan and the eight hundred strong men could only move around in the camp.In fact, this lone army camp was a prison camp. When he had just evacuated the Sixing Warehouse, Xie Jinyuan wanted to return to the ancestral realm after returning to the team from Huxi, and continue to go to the front to kill the enemy, but he never imagined that he had been under house arrest for three years in the Solitary Army Camp , and finally shed his blood here. After arriving at the Gujunying, Xie Jinyuan felt very sad because he could not kill the enemy and serve the country.Before long, he was suffering from severe insomnia and stomach problems.With the consent of the Public Concession Industry Bureau, he was admitted to Hongen Hospital.During the hospitalization, in order to express his feelings, he wrote a nave by himself and presented it to Zheng Xiafei who accompanied him in the hospital.The article said: "Wealth and honor cannot be promiscuous, might cannot be subdued, and poverty cannot be moved." He also wrote a couplet. Because Xie Jinyuan was unwilling to leave the eight hundred strong men for a long time, he returned to the lonely army camp before he recovered from his illness. Every day, he insists on doing Tai Chi and exercising.He has strict requirements on officers and soldiers, and he works and rests according to the prescribed time. He also holds a spiritual flag-raising ceremony every morning.When raising the flag in spirit, Xie Jinyuan led eight hundred warriors to salute to the sky, and said: "We have blue sun on our heads and hot blood under our feet, which is enough to represent the national flag." In this way, he expressed his patriotic determination. Xie Jinyuan is strict in governing the army, and always keeps the officers and soldiers in a fighting posture.He once said: "At present we are living under the cover of imperialism, but if we are not strict with the troops and do not cultivate their patriotic thinking, they may lose their patriotic stance among them." On February 1, 1938, Xie Jinyuan received journalists in the Solitary Army Camp. When the reporter praised Yang and them, he said to the reporter: "Defending the country is the bounden duty of a soldier, and there is nothing worthy of special praise. The Japanese pirates are inseparable from us. We will exist for a day, and we will fight the Japanese pirates to the end!" A strong belief in fighting to the end. On April 22 of this year, Xie Jinyuan appealed to peace-loving people all over the world. In his speech, he said: "Yu Jing appeals to peace-loving people all over the world, please uphold justice, wake up the public concession authorities to pay attention to their own neutral attitude, keep their promises, and hope to call on our government to order the retreat on the same day. International justice and goodness are finally sponsored by Yu et al. It is not only the luck of Yu et al., but also the luck of justice for mankind all over the world.” In order to commemorate the first anniversary of the Army’s 88th Division in Shanghai’s Anti-Japanese War in Shanghai, in early August, Xie Jinyuan sent a letter to the Concession Industry Bureau After repeated negotiations, he demanded that the national flag be raised in the solitary barracks.On August 9th, the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry sent someone to deliver a very long flagpole.After getting the flagpole, Xie Jinyuan led the officers and soldiers to dig a hole in the camp and erected the flagpole.Not long after the flagpole was erected, the concession authorities sent people to intervene.They told Xie Jinyuan that the flag cannot be raised in the isolated camp. If the Japanese saw the national flag raised in the isolated camp, it would be detrimental to the Ministry of Industry.Xie Jinyuan disagreed with their opinions and refuted them: "According to public international law, we should be the masters of our own affairs in the camp, and outsiders cannot interfere." In order to raise the flag in the isolated army camp, the concession authorities negotiated with Xie Jinyuan again.Finally, it was agreed to cut off the flagpole by four feet. At six o'clock in the morning on August 11, Xie Jinyuan led all officers and soldiers to hold a flag-raising ceremony.After the national flag was hoisted, the eight hundred warriors were very excited. Looking at the national flag, they secretly made up their minds to carry the war of resistance to the end for the country and the people. After the national flag was hoisted, the Scottish troops in the concession surrounded the Lone Army Camp, the Italian army was on guard along Jiaozhou Road, and the White Russian business group gathered outside the Lone Army Camp.At this time, a member of the Wan Guo Business Group hurried into the Solitary Army Camp and said to Xie Jinyuan: "The Bureau of the Ministry of Industry is concentrating its forces in the racetrack to go to the Solitary Army Camp to rob the national flag." When he heard the news, Xie Jinyuan was extremely angry. Immediately gathered all the officers and soldiers and issued orders to them: the first company guarded the viewing platform, the second company spread out in the playground, the third company guarded the camp gate, and the fourth company guarded the national flag.All the officers and soldiers firmly stated that defending the national flag is like defending the country, and they must fight to defend the national flag and never give in to imperialism. After the eight hundred warriors dispersed according to the order, the Belarusian business group shouted loudly outside the barracks, demanding that the national flag be lowered immediately.All the officers and soldiers of the third company told the Belarusian business group that the flag raising was agreed by the concession authorities, and no one had the right to interfere.After the two sides confronted each other for a while, the Belarusian business group charged into the lone army camp with weapons in hand.Because Xie Jinyuan's troops were unarmed, even though they bravely blocked them, they still failed to stop the White Russian business group from rushing into the barracks. The White Russian business group broke into the barracks and rushed towards the flagpole.In order to defend the national flag, eight hundred heroes had a large-scale conflict with the Belarusian business group.In this conflict, four of the 800 warriors died and more than 100 people were injured. In the end, the national flag was not kept, and even the lone barracks were occupied by foreign troops. After the foreign army occupied the lone army camp, they took Xie Jinyuan and more than a dozen officers away in military trucks.When Xie Jinyuan left the Solitary Army Camp, he left a note to his subordinates, asking them to fight to the death for justice and justice. In order to protest this outrageous act by the concession authorities, Xie Jinyuan and all the officers and soldiers went on a hunger strike. After the atrocities of foreign troops mutilating 800 strong men aroused strong dissatisfaction from people from all walks of life in Shanghai, they expressed their resolute protest in various ways. Although Xie Jinyuan and all the officers and soldiers fell into adversity, their fighting spirit remained undiminished. They still said that no matter at any time and under any circumstances, they would sacrifice for the dignity of the country and the nation. Their heads could be broken and their blood could be shed. Docile citizens of the communists. On August 13, Xie Jinyuan sent a letter to the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry. In his letter, he first wrote: "Since October 31 last year, a third party asked our authorities to order a retreat. So far in September, I have always abided by the law and have not deviated from the law. After the retreat, the British Army And your bureau once promised to send Yu and others back to the government of the country after the war leaves Shanghai. Why has it not been realized yet; " Then, he raised the following questions for the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce to explain: (1) The third party asked to retreat because it showed human sympathy and could not bear to see Yu et al. in a desperate situation. Secondly, bullets flew all over the place and cared for the safety of the lives and properties of Chinese and foreign people in the concession. Is this the meaning of your bureau's accommodation of Yu et al.? (2) I am not a prisoner, nor a prisoner. Is my legal status and private rights completely lost? (3) Regarding the issue of the flagpole and flag-raising, the general office of He Shi had a good agreement. Why did they suddenly use force to forcibly dismantle it, and as many as 110 members were beaten and injured? (4) At one o'clock in the morning on the 13th, your bureau's re-dispatch team transferred all the officials to this question. I don't know what law it is? After the tenacious struggle of the eight hundred heroes and the strong support of the people from all walks of life in Shanghai, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce was forced to make a compromise. It had to return the national flag to the eight hundred heroes, and sent Xie Jinyuan and other officials back to the Solitary Army Camp. During his stay in the Solitary Army Camp, Xie Jinyuan often urged and encouraged his subordinates to recharge their batteries, practice diligently, and serve the country after they regained their freedom.He said to the officers and soldiers: "In the Shanghai Concession, our words and deeds must make allies see the spirit of Chinese soldiers from us, and from then on understand the spirit of China." As the situation in Shanghai continued to deteriorate, the Japanese and puppet forces threatened and lured the isolated barracks in an attempt to make Xie Jinyuan surrender.The Japanese army has repeatedly asked the concession authorities to extradite Xie Jinyuan to them.He threatened to kidnap Xie Jinyuan at all costs, and said that as long as Xie Jinyuan agreed to cooperate with them, he could be given any position.Wang Jingwei also expressed his willingness to give Xie Jinyuan a high salary, and Xie Jinyuan denounced all the tricks of the enemy. August 11, 1939 was the first anniversary of the flag-hanging conflict.On this day, all officers and soldiers in the Lone Army Battalion held commemorative activities.At half past five in the morning, a spiritual flag-raising ceremony was held.During the spiritual flag-raising ceremony, Xie Jinyuan delivered a speech.He first said: "We should use our personal life to contribute to the country and the nation. There is only the freedom of the nation, not the freedom of individuals. There is only the life of the nation, not the life of individuals." When he talked about the meaning of life and death Said, "If you should die, you will die. If you should die and steal your life, it will be a false life." Xie Jinyuan is full of confidence in the future of the confrontation.He said: "The future of the Anti-Japanese War is brighter and brighter, and the final victory should be absolutely sure." There were more than a hundred comrades who shed blood, and four comrades died. This blood will not be shed in vain, and one day, there will be a hundred times the price. I hope everyone will remember it deeply and never forget it.” In order to express his determination to die rather than surrender, Xie Jinyuan wrote a letter to his parents on August 13, 1939, in advance of his will. The letter reads: On August 11, 1940, to commemorate the second anniversary of the hanging flag tragedy, all officers and soldiers of the Solitary Army Battalion, led by Xie Jinyuan, voluntarily went on a hunger strike for one day.At 5 o'clock in the morning and in the evening, a spiritual flag-raising ceremony was held, and at 10:15 noon, a three-minute silence was held.On the twelfth and the twelfth, two days of vegetarianism, and no entertainment. Because Xie Jinyuan resolutely resisted the war and did not yield in the face of the enemy's temptation and coercion. In this way, the enemy and the puppet bribed good disciples and laid a poisonous hand on Xie Jinyuan. At about five o'clock in the morning on April 24, 1941, during morning exercises, four corporals were late.When Xie Jinyuan called them aside for questioning, Hao Dingcheng, Zhang Wenqing, Long Yaoliang and others suddenly picked up pickaxes and other murder weapons and attacked Xie Jinyuan violently.Xie Jinyuan immediately lay down on the ground due to severe head and chest injuries.After the officers and soldiers caught the murderer, they called the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry immediately and sent Xie Jinyuan to the hospital for emergency treatment.Due to the seriousness of his injuries and the ineffective rescue, this anti-Japanese hero of the Chinese nation died with regret at six o'clock.I was thirty-seven years old. For Xie Jinyuan's death, all officers and soldiers are extremely sad.They said one after another that the head can be broken, the blood can be shed, and the will to resist the war and save the country cannot be lost. After killing one regiment leader Xie, thousands of Xie Jinyuan are still fighting. The sad news of Xie Jinyuan's murder spread, and the people were filled with grief and indignation.People from all walks of life in Shanghai, in particular, were even more indignant when they heard of Xie Jinyuan's death, and they went to the Solitary Army Camp to express their condolences.Xie Jinyuan's body has been put on make-up, he is wearing a military uniform and a military cap, lying in the mourning hall.Wreaths sent by people from all walks of life in Shanghai were placed around Xie Jinyuan's body. On April 25, the coffin funeral ceremony was held.There were as many as 60,000 to 70,000 mourners.Before the coffin was closed, all the officers, soldiers and guests walked around the coffin amidst the sound of mourning and music. Many people held the coffin and cried loudly, refusing to leave for a long time. At that time, calls were made to Xie Jinyuan's family from all over the country, large-scale memorial services were held jointly by all walks of life, and many newspapers published special issues mourning Xie Jinyuan. In order to mourn Xie Jinyuan, Chiang Kai-shek sent telegrams to the officers and soldiers of all military divisions.The article said: "Xie Jinyuan's Chengren is a glorious commemoration for the soldiers of the Republic of China, and also left a very tragic historical relic in the history of our War of Resistance. Looking back, the leader of the regiment led 800 solitary troops to stand firm in Zhabei, and vowed to do their best to protect our national flag. Standing in the last position and never retreating, his spirit of loyalty and fearlessness has been praised all over the world. After that, he stayed in the solitary camp for more than three years. , always consistent, maintaining the independent and self-reliant personality of our National Revolutionary Army. This kind of long-term struggle is actually more difficult than the frontline officers and soldiers who fought bloody battles and sacrificed generously. , It will remain in the world forever and be immortal. Commander Xie not only shows the steadfast and heroic spirit of our soldiers, but also represents the indomitable and righteous spirit of our nation..." On May 8, the Nanjing government pursued Xie Jinyuan as a major general of the army. In order to praise Xie Jinyuan and the eight hundred heroes, many newspapers published articles at that time.In the article, Feng Yuxiang praised Xie Jinyuan's spirit of brave sacrifice and struggle to the end.He wrote that armed comrades across the country must learn from Commander Xie's brave spirit and spirit of fighting to the end, drive out the rebels, and strive for the early arrival of the final victory.As for the 800 heroes who have written a page of glorious history for the Republic of China, they will definitely continue to work hard in line with the behest of Commander Xie. After Xie Jinyuan died, in memory of him, Jiaozhou Road in Shanghai, where the Solitary Army Camp is located, was renamed Jinyuan Road. In 1982, Xie Jinyuan's cemetery was moved to the right side of Soong Ching Ling Mausoleum in Hongqiao.On August 13, 1985, at Jinyuan Middle School named after Xie Jinyuan, the foundation stone laying ceremony for the statue of Jinyuan was held.On September 2, 1985, the Shanghai Zhabei District Government held the unveiling ceremony of the "Eight Hundred Heroes 'Sihang Warehouse' Anti-Japanese Memorial Dile Stone Memorial".
