The East China Sea Guerilla Command was officially established in Dinghai Beichen Diaomen Village in April 1948, marking a new chapter in the vigorous people’s guerrilla warfare led by our party in the East China Sea region. On August 21, 1948, while the main force of the East China Sea Guerilla Command was advancing to the Tiantai Mountain base, they were surrounded and attacked by more than 2000 troops of the army, navy, and air force on Liuheng Island, resulting in the heroic sacrifice of over 170 people.

The main structures of the entire cemetery include a monument, a square, and a historical relics exhibition room, with a total construction investment of 2.8 million yuan. The Martyrs’ Monument stands 18 meters high and 5.6 meters wide, with the inscription ‘Martyrs’ Monument of the East China Sea Guerilla Command’ written by Xue Ju, the former Secretary of Zhejiang Provincial Committee, on the front of the monument. The text on the back of the monument is a eulogy erected by the Liuheng Town Government. The center of the cemetery is the Memorial Square, which houses the historical relics exhibition room.
