The General Trade Union of the Peking-Hankow Railroad which organized the strike had its headquarters at the Chiangan Station in Hankow. On February 7, the reactionaries massacred the workers at the station. A memorial hall now stands on the spot. Visitors are invariably moved by the words which Lin Hsiang-chien, chairman of the Chiangan branch of the union and strike leader, spit in the face of his executioners, “You can chop my head off or bleed me to death, but the strike will not be called off!”]
