Located
at the mountainside of the southern piedmont of Yuexiu Mountain,
the monument is a 5.5-meter high pointed top square column.
This place was originally where Yuexiu Tower, which was once
the residence of Sun Yatsen and Song Qingling, was situated.
On June 26, 1922, Chen Jiongming betrayed Sun Yatsen and launched
an armed rebellion. Sun Yatsen and his wife Song Qingling got
out of the jaws of danger from this place.
In 1930, this monument was erected to commemorate Sun Yatsen.
Inscribed on the back of the stele was the Inscription for Rebel
Fighting Bodyguard, recording the story of the 2-day bloody
battle between 61 bodyguards of the President¨s Office against
Chen Jiongming¨s rebel army.
