Zhong'anlun Monument

On 15 October 1945, about one thousand people boarded the ferry Zhong'anlun (中安轮) for a crossing of the Yangtze River from Wujin County to Taixing City, on orders that came from the Communist Party.

Four decades later, the Jiangsu provincial government built a monument to commemorate the victims of the disaster.

On 15 October 1987, the day of the 42nd anniversary of the ferry sinking, the Zhong'anlun Memorial was officially opened to the public.

The first scene in the memorial is a horizontal monument 6.4 m wide; the front of the monument carries a vigorous and forceful inscription of eight Chinese characters: 烈士英灵,永镇江海("The heroic spirit of the martyrs will abide forever, as long as the river [flows into] the sea"), by General Ye Fei.

Another monument at the site is a magnificent stone stele, 18.8 m high, with the inscription "Monument to the martyrs of the New Fourth Army's Jiangsu-Zhejiang Military Region who perished while crossing the river during their retreat to the north" (新四军苏浙军区北撤渡江死难烈士碑)", also written by Ye Fei.
