His eight immortal works, such as Poor and Lovely China, written with tenacious perseverance in prison, have always been valuable teaching materials and spiritual wealth for educating future generations on patriotism and revolutionary tradition. However, the whereabouts of his loyalty remained a mystery until 1958.

After the national liberation, Mao Zedong praised Fang Zhimin's heroic sacrifice many times, and taught his children and working comrades around him: "Comrade Fang Zhimin is a courageous, ambitious and talented party member. He died a great death and I miss him very much. " But it was such a martyr who didn't even have a grave at that time, because no one knew where his loyal bones were. 1955, the CPC central Committee made a decision to find the remains of Fang Zhimin martyrs. Under the direct instruction of Comrade Liu Shaoqi, Jiangxi Province set up an investigation team for Fang Zhimin's remains. Where is the body of Fang Zhimin martyr buried?

Around this clue, the investigation team finally found out that a photographer named "Zhen Zhen" photo studio was appointed by the Kuomintang authorities to take photos at the execution ground. However, when the investigation team took the photographer to a place called Xiashawo at the scene of Fang Zhimin's murder, he was at a loss and could not identify the exact location. At the same time, it was reported that after Fang Zhimin's martyrdom, the Kuomintang authorities had Fang Zhimin buried in a thin coffin. So the investigation team found another party and organized manpower to dig in Xiashawo, but there was no result. Later, according to the photos of Fang Zhimin when he was executed, it was judged that Fang Zhimin was in chains when he was executed, and his bones must be in chains. However, of all the bones excavated, none was in chains. On May 26th, 1958, experts from the Institute of Forensic Medicine formally signed an appraisal certificate, declaring these nine bones as Fang Zhimin's remains.
