The Jiao Yulu Memorial Park

The 6.11-hectare park was built in February 1966 on sand dunes in the north of Henan's Lankao county. It features a monument to revolutionary martyrs, the tomb of Jiao Yulu (regarded as the epitome of the honest cadre) and a memorial hall dedicated to him.

Jiao's life story is inscribed on the monument. In May 1964, he died of liver cancer at age 42, when he was Party chief of Lankao. He fell sick from overwork as he had devoted himself to helping local people deal with waterlogged fields, sandstorms and saline-alkali soil-"the three harms" as they were known-that had hampered agricultural production for decades. After his death, Jiao became a role model for civil servants and members of the CPC.

In 1966, the CPC launched a national campaign, calling on all members and civil servants to learn from Jiao by conducting more field research and investigations to help resolve people's practical concerns.
