Most Chinese cities have a memorial hall (纪念馆) or a memorial stele (纪念碑) in memory of the heroes of the Civil War. The one in Chongwu - dedicated to the 27 People's Liberation Army soldiers who died in the West Bay beach area in the fall of 1949 - is somewhat unusual in its design, however: it includes a temple, built in a traditional Chinese style, in which the fallen heroes are enshrined much like Guandi and other legendary heroes of old are enshrined in their own temples.
