What roads in Beijing are named after people? Why do you say that you have seen half of the history of the Anti-Japanese War after taking these roads?

Speaking of the capital Beijing, there are many traces of culture and history. The most famous is the Forbidden City, which is now renamed the Forbidden City. There are many cultural relics on display. There are also some roads in Beijing named after literati heroes. Among them, Zhang Zizhong, Tong and Zhao are the most famous roads in Beijing. It is not only the fame of these three people that "adds luster" to the road, but also the history and culture in these three roads are strong enough, so it is said that after these roads, the history of war has already finished half.

1March, 947 13, He Siyuan, then mayor of Beijing, ordered that Hutong, Nangouyan Hutong and Beigouyan Hutong be renamed Zhang Zizhong Road, Tong Road and Zhao Road respectively to commemorate the great achievements of these three martyrs during the war. Speaking of Zhang Zizhong, I believe everyone will be familiar with it. Zhang Zizhong was born in Linqing and War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, and played an indelible role. He has participated in dozens of wars, big and small, among which the famous battles are Xuzhou and Zaoyi, but he died in Xiangyang and was finally awarded the rank of martyr and general by the National Government.

On Zhang Zizhong Road, there are also many former residences of celebrities. Even Ou Yangyuqian, Guang William. J and others have lived here. Cultural celebrities such as Guo Moruo, Tian Han and Lao She often meet here. It is conceivable that in the eyes of ordinary people, this place itself has such a strong cultural atmosphere. Look at Tong, a former deputy commander of the national army, with a higher rank. His unit fired the first shot against the Japanese aggressors, but he was also killed in Nanyuan when he fought against the Japanese army.

The last Zhao may not be familiar to everyone, but this person is Tong's immediate superior. He died unfortunately because he was accidentally ambushed by the Japanese army. Later, martyrs were added, and they also had a place in Zhao.
