The Jinxing Mining District 10,000 People’s Pit Memorial Hall is located in Jinxing Mining District, west of Shijiazhuang, the capital of Hebei Province, and is a provincial-level patriotic education base. Jinxing Mining District is located at the intersection of Jin and Ji, and the history of civilian coal mining can be traced back to the Northern Song Dynasty. Modern mining has a history of more than 100 years. In the old society, foreign and Chinese capitalists in Jinxing Coal Mine forced miners to engage in heavy physical labor such as digging coal, carrying baskets, and pulling buckets in extremely harsh conditions underground. At that time, there were frequent accidents such as roof collapses, water inrush, and gas explosions underground, and countless hardships took the lives of many valuable miners. Especially in the 8 years when the Japanese invaders occupied the mine, the Japanese invaders turned the mine into a “human hell” to harm workers, kill anti-Japanese soldiers and innocent people. The bodies of the miners who were overworked, sick, and tortured to death, and the bodies of the anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians who were killed, were gathered and thrown in the wilderness, forming 6 10,000 people’s pits in Jinxing Mining District, among which the most numerous were the dead miners thrown into the South Dagou 10,000 people’s pit.
