The Story of a Martyr’s Death Part I
On March29,1911, the members of the Revolutionary Party made an attack on the Kwangtung-Kwangsi Governor’s Office of the Ching Dynasty. More than eighty people laid down their lives then and there or afterwards. But later only seventy-two corpses were collected and buried by their comrades at the Huanghua Hillock on the outskirts of the city of Guangzhou. As a result, the buried are, in general, referred to as “Seventy-two Huanghua Hillock Martyrs.”
