The Wanzhong cemetery is located at 23 Jiusan Road in Lushunkou. It is a large cemetery in memory of the Chinese people who died in the Lushun Massacre during the Sino-Japanese War of 1894. Between Nov 21 and Nov 24 in 1894, the Japanese army continuously massacred the people of Lushun. This was the Lushun Massacre, which shocked the world. In 1896, following the people’s will, Gu Yuanxun, the prefecture governor candidate of Zhili province, ordered construction of the cemetery, built the memorial hall, erected the monument, and wrote the three characters "Wan Zhong Mu" (Cemetery of Patriots) on a stone tablet. In 1905, as the Russian-Japanese War ended, Japan invaded Lushunkou again, and stole and hid the stone tablet. In March 1922, a group of ethnic Chinese launched an appeal for donations to rebuild Wanzhong Cemetery and then erected a second monument. In 1946, the lost Wanzhong stone tablet was found. In 1948, the Lushun government rebuilt Wanzhong Cemetery with public donations. This time, stairs, an enclosing wall, and a sacrificial hall were all reestablished and another Wanzhong monument was set up. In 1994, on the hundredth anniversary of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, with the approval of the Bureau of Cultural Heritage, the Lushunkou government presided over the reconstruction of the cemetery. On the Qingming Day of that year, the victims of the Lushun Massacre were reburied.
