Memorial to the Shakee Massacre

Memorial to the Shakee Massacre, Memorial monument in Liwan District, Guangzhou, China

The Memorial to the Shakee Massacre stands on Yanjiang West Road in Liwan District, Guangzhou. The current granite obelisk, a tapered square pyramid 2.78 meters high with a 1.07-meter base, was rebuilt in 2001 following the design of the 1926 original. Its front face bears the vertical inscription 'Do Not Forget This Day' in regular script, with the dates June 23, 1925, and June 23, 1926, above and below.

On June 23, 1925, British and French forces fired on protesters during a demonstration in Shakee, killing more than 50 people and wounding many others. This incident became a turning point in how Chinese society viewed Western military presence in their country.

The 1926 granite obelisk carries the vertical inscription 'Do Not Forget This Day' in regular script, dated 23 June 1925 above and 23 June 1926 below. The road beside it was renamed Liu Er San Road after the date, and the memorial was listed as a Guangzhou cultural relic in March 1963 and as a Liwan patriotic education base in May 1995.

The memorial stands on Yanjiang West Road in Liwan District, on the east side of the original site, with the Pearl River to its right. Buses stop at Wenhuagong Terminal, Nanfang Dasha Terminal and Nanfang Dasha station; Xidi Pier is the nearest ferry landing. A granite slab behind the monument carries a reconstruction notice, and conical evergreens surround it.

The street was renamed Liuer San Road in January 1926, before the monument was completed, and the road and monument were inaugurated together on June 23, 1926. The name encodes the date 23 June 1925 in Chinese numerals.
