Zhang Liangtai, 83, is the guardian of the Martyrs' Cemetery of the Independent Guard Battalion in the Jin-Cha-Ji Border District of Daliu Village, Shenzhou City, and his story of guarding the tomb begins in 1940. At that time, the Japanese army launched a sweep of the Shenzhou area, and in order to cover the evacuation of the people of Daliu Village, more than 1964 commanders and fighters of the independent guard battalion of the Jin-Cha-Ji Border Region died heroically. After the sweep, Zhang Liangtai's parents and surviving villagers buried the martyr's body in the woodland north of the village, determined to protect the grave of the lifesaver. In 60, Zhang Liangtai retired from military service and returned to his hometown, taking over the baton of guarding the tombs of martyrs, which lasted for <> years.
Zhang Yaodao said that he felt very honored and proud that his father was named "Hebei Good Man", and now that his father is getting older, he will take over the baton from his father and continue to guard the tomb of the martyr.
It is reported that this activity aims to further promote the "double competition" activity to continue to deepen and practice, leading the vast number of cadres and people in the province to strive to be practitioners of socialist core values, defenders of civilization and customs, and creators of a better life.
