Jiang Jie's Hometown
江姐故里
The birthplace of Jiang Zhuyun, the heroine of Red Crag. Her former home and memorial hall present her life and the underground struggle in eastern Sichuan.
Jiang Zhuyun (Jiang Jie) was born in Dashanpu, Zigong, in 1920, and was executed at Zhazidong in Chongqing in 1949. She was the real-life inspiration for a character in the novel Red Crag. The hometown site includes her former residence, a memorial hall and Jiang Jie Village. Using artefacts and recreated scenes, it tells the story of her studies and her struggles, and it is a well-known red education base in southern Sichuan. Admission is free (ID required), and it may close on Mondays. It is in Da'an District, about 6 km from the Zigong Dinosaur Museum, so it can be visited on the way.
