attention martyrs funeral

Although the tragic hero and war with the smoke dispersed, but people should not forget the martyrs.

2007, the Luoyang mausoleums are partially dismantled to make way for commercial development, the latter after an uproar in the media. The Martyrs of commercial development has been done for 10 years, six only two protected areas, the rest into a commercial cemetery. In 2009, Henan Biyang People’s Congress, Commission for Discipline Inspection of land occupied by the county Martyrs fund raising to build luxury villas spread the message through the network wide.

in Chongqing, was diverted to the martyrs cemetery, transformation, face into laundry, BBQ garden, karaoke OK angle or vendors bazaar. In Nanjing, Wangjiang Angeles more than 80 Martyrs offspring without notice in the case of martyrs, all by unclaimed graves relocation, the ashes of martyrs “temporary” in the funeral home for several years. In Chengdu, Hongyan vehicle Yaoxian the former residence of the martyrs, have been forcibly relocated.

before the annual festival, there will be such a thing be revealed.

According to Ministry of Civil Affairs statistics, the Martyrs, Martyrs, Memorial, statues commemorating a total of 14,588 facilities. To strengthen the management, our current approach is a hierarchical management approach, which is divided into national, provincial, municipal and county-level key protection units. At present the annual reception facilities visited Martyrs Memorial, visited more than 80 million people reached the masses.

but funding issues, commemorating the martyrs has been troubled by the work of protecting major facilities problems. Ministry of Civil Affairs Bureau of martyrs praise and special care and placement the Director of Dai Aijiao preferential treatment introduced in 1992, to address the Martyrs Memorial facility protection unit construction, the difficulties of inadequate funding for the development, Ministry of Civil Affairs has proposed adherence to the “praise the martyrs, educating the masses” theme features the premise , to carry out business income-generating activities, “the Vice-up park” road. In this process, the use of Martyrs desolate in some places to start is different from the area died martyrs praise staff burial ground, and some local nurseries and other industrial development of horticulture.

Although the civil affairs departments at all levels have increased to the Martyrs Memorial facility protection efforts, but not enough to put the situation has not fundamentally changed. Some parts of the Martyrs Memorial has become a local dilapidated facilities, no funding to repair, like the pressure of public opinion has a great construction and demolition. There are 7000 National Martyrs Memorial facilities and many scattered on one million martyrs tomb, of which a considerable part of the worrying situation.

the special care and preferential treatment in terms of martyrs, although the state has to establish a sound system of martyrs survivor pension privileges, but there are still some difficulties and problems.

Ministry of Civil Affairs for the establishment of Martyrs Day and the many years of argument. 2008 People on the anniversary of the establishment of an online poll of martyrs, 70% of users expressed support. Poll survey conducted by the Xinhua, the support rate as high as 92.84%. Civil affairs departments at all levels are in accordance with national requirements, to invest in this year focused on the protection of key national martyrs memorial of transformation.

fact, we need not only protect the martyrs memorial facilities, the establishment of Martyrs Day, but more important is respect for the martyrs in the whole society to carry forward the tradition.
