The revolutionary struggle in Jiyuan is a tragic history that is fearless of rape and stirring the heart. It is a history of bloody struggle and turbulent resistance, as well as a magnificent and majestic victory history of Taihang.

In the revolutionary war years, the people of Jiyuan, under the leadership of the CPC, were indomitable, brave and tenacious, from the birth of the first Jiyuan branch of the Communist Party of China in June 1927 to the establishment of the first Soviet regime on the Shanxi Henan border; From the opening of the first anti Japanese base area behind enemy lines, to the burning of anti Japanese beacon fire throughout the land of Yuchuan; From quelling the counter revolutionary uprising of the Red Spear Society, supporting Chen Xie's army in crossing the Yellow River, to establishing political power and suppressing bandits and hegemony in Fujian, countless outstanding sons and daughters of the Foolish Old Man have engaged in countless arduous struggles, made earth shattering feats, and paid the price of blood and life! According to incomplete statistics, in order to win the liberation of New China, tens of thousands of people supported Chen Xie's army in crossing the Yellow River, more than 3000 people participated in the Linfen Campaign and the Liberation of Southwest Shanxi Campaign, more than 12300 outstanding children actively joined the army, and more than 1800 soldiers sacrificed their young and precious lives for the revolution.
