1 in the early morning of February, 9231Sunday, 1000 more than one railway worker set out from Zhengzhou Station and headed for the General Paradise, the venue of the founding meeting of the Federation of Trade Unions. At the beginning of the meeting, Huang Dianchen, director of Zhengzhou Public Security Bureau, led many policemen to the preparatory office of the Federation of Trade Unions to announce Wu's decree prohibiting railway workers from holding meetings in Zhengzhou.

The workers broke through the military police on the way. They tore off the seal, broke the iron lock and rushed into the park. Gao Bin, the leader of Zhengzhou railway workers, solemnly announced the establishment of the Federation of Trade Unions. The reactionary military police became angry from embarrassment, white terror enveloped Zhengzhou, and the wave of workers' movement did not fall.

Under the leadership of China * * * Production Party, on February 4th, Gao Bin blew the first whistle of Han Jing railway workers' strike, with Zhengzhou as the center, from Changxindian in the north to Hankou in the south, and 1 0,200 km railway set off the climax of China workers' movement.

On February 7th, Wu suppressed the striking workers on the Jinghan Railway on a large scale, which created the "February 7th Massacre" that shocked China and foreign countries. Workers were persecuted and the Zhengzhou Party organization was destroyed.

Taking mountains and rivers as evidence and years as name, China will never forget the "227 Massacre". Shi Yang, Lin Xiangqian, Gao Bin and other 52 comrades died heroically, more than 300 people were seriously injured, and 1000 people were dismissed.

Zhengzhou will never forget that Changchun Bridge, with the heads of martyrs Wang Shengfa and Si Wende hanging, erected the Erqi Memorial Tower at the place where the martyrs of the Erqi strike died.
