1931年九一八事變后，在中國共產(chǎn)黨的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)下，俗稱“抗聯(lián)”的“東北抗日聯(lián)軍”開始活躍在白山黑水之間，抗擊日寇。

本溪是抗日英雄楊靖宇率領(lǐng)的“抗聯(lián)”一軍一師抗擊日寇的主要戰(zhàn)區(qū)。在這里，我們可以在東北抗聯(lián)史實陳列館追尋先烈的足跡，在“西征遺址”了解“摩天嶺大捷”，在東北抗日義勇軍紀念館見證國歌在這里唱響。

光陰荏苒，歷史離我們漸行漸遠，但那段歷史卻讓有良知的人難以忘卻。當?shù)卣槕?yīng)民心，將抗聯(lián)遺址認真挖掘，展示后人。而為了學習體驗抗聯(lián)精神，傳承紅色基因，弘揚紅色傳統(tǒng)，來本溪重走抗聯(lián)路也成為人們紅色之旅的首選。

After the Mukden Incident in 1931, the United Anti-Japanese Army, under the leadership of the CCP,started an active opposition against the Japanese invaders. Though poorly equipped, the patriots fought the Japanese in the mountains and along the rivers.

Benxi was a theater of operations of the First Division of the First Army commanded by General Yang Jingyu, who later is acclaimed a national hero. Now we can trace the foot steps of those who died for the country in the Museum of Northeast United Anti-Japanese Army, visit the “Site of West Expedition” to remember the Great Victory on the ridge of Motian, and listen to the national anthem in the Memorial Museum of Northeast United Anti-Japanese Army.

Time races by and history drifts away from us, but what the patriots did will always remain in our memory.The local government has constructed the museums in response to the need of the younger generation, who are determined to inherit the heroes’ spirit, the red genes,and above all the red tradition. Therefore Benxi is the first choice for you to take the red road once taken by their heroes.
