Xu Xiangqian
Before the establishment of Haifeng Soviet Government, Peng Pai proposed the building of Red Square as a meeting place to announce the new government’s establishment. It is said that this square was designed by Peng Pai himself but without evidence. On October 28, 1986, the 90th birthday of Peng Pai, a bronze statue of him was set at the center of the Red Square. The pedestal of it was made from granite. The size of the granite is: height: 2.3m, length: 2m, width: 1.7m. Words written by a Chinese marshal Xu Xiangqian “the Statue of Martyr Peng Pai” were curved in front of the pedestal. The statue is 3.2m tall and weighs 2000 kg. It was sculptured by sculptor Pan He from Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts. In 1961, the State Council of People’s Republic of China included the Red Palace and Red Square in the list of National Cultural Heritage Conservation.
