Inscription on the Memorial to
Red Army Martyrs'
(January 15, 1934)
Many comrades have gloriously sacrificed their lives in the great battles against
imperialism and for the agrarian revolution! The sacrifice of these comrades has
demonstrated the indomitable heroism of the proletariat and laid the foundations
of the Chinese Soviet Republic. Treading in the bloodstained footsteps of these
comrades, the workers, peasants, and toiling masses of all China are marching
forward to overthrow the rule of imperialism and the Guomindang, and fighting
for the victory of the soviets throughout China.
