Northeastern Martyrs Memorial Museum

Former puppet Manchukuo Police Hall site, deeds of Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army martyrs Yang Jingyu / Zhao Yiman / Zhao Shangzhi; a memorial at the site of Zhao Yiman's capture. The building itself is a dual carrier of crime evidence and remembrance — this former puppet Manchukuo Harbin Police Hall once held and interrogated countless anti-Japanese resistance fighters, and national hero Zhao Yiman was tortured here; after the liberation of the Northeast in 1948 it became the Northeastern Martyrs Memorial Museum, one of the earliest revolutionary memorial venues established by the Communist Party of China. The museum presents the life stories of Northeast Anti-Japanese United Army martyrs such as Yang Jingyu, Zhao Yiman and Zhao Shangzhi; the account that Yang Jingyu's stomach contained only grass roots and cotton wadding after his death, and a copy of Zhao Yiman's final letter to her son, are deeply moving. The naming of Yiman Street is itself this city's way of remembering. Free with reservation; the displays are solemn. It pairs well with the Unit 731 Crime Evidence Exhibition Hall to form a Northeast resistance memorial route; remain quiet throughout your visit.
