Liu Yuxi once wrote a poem:? What a hero Liu Bei is, no one can compare with him. His name will be passed down for thousands of years. ? People never forget the heroes who shed their blood in history. Erecting monuments and statues is the most common way to remember. The most magnificent monument in China is undoubtedly the Monument to the People's Heroes in Beijing. It was built to commemorate the revolutionary martyrs in China's modern history and still stands upright in the center.

Monument to the People's Heroes is 37.94 meters high, with an inscription on the front? People's heroes are immortal? Eight characters, with 150 small characters on the back. It consists of 17000 granite and white marble. The main stone is the giant intact granite from Dajinding, Fushan, Qingdao, as the core stone. When this stone was first mined, it was about 15 meters long, 3 meters wide and weighed more than 320 tons, which was extremely rare in the history of Chinese architecture.

The mining and transportation of steles began in April of 1953 and 1. Because the stones were too big and heavy, the journey from Qingdao to distant Beijing was full of twists and turns. More than 300 tons of materials, even the miners recruited in Shanghai, Nanjing and other places are losing money. Only one at the foot of Laoshan has it? Stone god? Nicknamed Li Kaishan, an experienced stonemason, came up with a solution.

For the first time, he carried out this boulder with a boring gun? Slimming? The boulder was successfully blown out of the mountain and processed into 280 tons. However, it is still too heavy. At that time, the technology could not meet the requirements of transporting such a heavy boulder. Therefore, after the second processing, the weight of the stone tablet is reduced to 65,438+002 tons, which can be transported.

On August 9th, 19, 102 tons of large stones were officially delivered. This is not an easy job. The nearest station is 15 kilometers away, so more than 7,000 workers use methods such as rolling logs, bulldozers and digging ditches. It took more than a month to transport the stone to the station after passing through four villages, 10 bridges and even over a hill.

On September 28th, Beixinshi departed from Mengzhuang Road Station in Qingdao. At that time, the Ministry of Railways stipulated that the transportation weight should not exceed100t, so the stone was processed for the third time, and the weight was reduced to 94 tons before continuing on the road. This road is full of steles, but you dare not drive too fast. Always maintained a top speed of 20 kilometers per hour, and finally arrived at Beijing Qianmen West Station in June 65438+1October 65438+March.

After many hardships, Beijing has finally arrived, but how to transport the stone tablets is a new problem. So the workers rolled logs with steel pipes in the old way, and it took three days to transport them to the monument site.

This road is really not easy, it has to process stones, travel long distances and transport such heavy stone tablets. However, when they saw the prototype of the towering monument, the workers were still proud. Are they thousands, too? Unknown hero? .

1 958 may1day, the monument to the people's heroes, which took more than five years to build, was officially unveiled. It is solemn and towering, and has become a must-see for every tourist. Punch in? One of the locations. 196 1 year, the Monument to the People's Heroes was listed as the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units, not only because of its grandeur, but also because of its commemorative significance. This memory and respect for the revolutionary ancestors will last forever.
