The Memorial of Pingjiang Uprising is located in the Development Zone of Pingjiang County in today’s Prefecture City Yueyang 岳阳 in northeastern Hunan province. On July 22, 1928, Peng Dehuai 彭德怀(1898-1974), Teng Daiyuan 滕代远 (1904-1974), and Huang Gonglue 黄公略 (1898-1931) organized and led the Pingjiang Uprising. On July 24, they declared the foundation of the Pingjiang Soviet government and the Fifth Army of the Chinese Workers and Peasants Red Army 工农红军第五军. Like the Nanchang Uprising (under construction), the Pingjiang Uprising also failed.In 1985, the Tianyue School 天岳书院, where Peng Dehui’s army used to station in 1928, was restored to serve as the Memorial Hall of Pingjiang Uprising, which was categorized in 1988 as a key heritage site at the national level 全国重点文物保护单位. It was listed as one of the 100 national-level Red Tourism classical destinations 全国红色旅游经典景区 in 2004. The current memorial, which covers 13,300 square meters, was completed in 2008. It houses exhibitions on the lives of Peng Dehuai, Teng Daiyuan, and Huang Gonglue as well as historical documents and objects related to the Pingjiang Uprising, such as weapons (guns, bullets, canons, etc.). These exhibitions argue the importance of the uprising led by Peng Dehuai for the founding of the People's Army (i.e. army under the leadership of the Communist Party), for establishing the Xiang-E-Gan (Hunan-Hubei-Jiangxi) Revolutionary Base 湘鄂赣革命根据地, and for protecting the Chinese Soviet Republic in Jiangxi 中央苏区.BibliographyAverill, Stephen C.
