What travelers say:

On September 15, 1932 (Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, 1932), places such as "Yangbaibao Coal Mining Institute" were attacked by the Liaodong People's Anti-Japanese Self-Defense Forces passing through Pingdingshan Village. The Japanese army surrounded Pingdingshan Village with a guard and gendarmerie on the next day, without reporting the villagers in Pingdingshan. More than 3,000 men, women, and children in the village were driven to the bottom of the Pingding Mountain and began the genocide. The Japanese first fired machine guns, and then picked it up again with bayonets, and even picked out the babies in the pregnant women's stomachs. Finally, in order to cover up the crime, they burned the bodies with gasoline and fired guns. Buried the bones of the martyrs at the foot of the mountain, and set fire to more than 800 houses in the village, razing Pingdingshan Village to the ground, creating a shocking "Pingdingshan tragedy" in China and abroad. In March 1951, in order to commemorate the compatriots who died in the "Pingdingshan tragedy" in 1932, The Fushun Municipal People's Government established the "Monument to the Compatriots in the Paradise of Pingdingshan" at the site of the massacre. The "Pingdingshan Compatriots in the Paradise Relics" was built in 1971. The museum displays more than 800 remains of the compatriots in the Paradise and some relics excavated at the site. January 31, 1988, The State Council announced the site of the "Pingdingshan massacre" as a key cultural relics protection unit in the country, and changed the original "Pingdingshan disaster compatriots' remains museum" to the "Pingdingshan massacre site memorial hall". Since the official opening of the "Pingdingshan massacre site memorial hall" in 1973, It has become an important place for patriotism and revolutionary traditional education to the people.
