Recently, Mr. Li reported to Pengpai News that on June 8th this year, at the request of his family, he returned to his hometown in Shantou, Guangdong to build a martyr's tombstone for his second uncle Li Jinxiang's tomb. The next day, Li Jinxiang's tombstone was smashed by a group of unidentified people, who claimed that the tomb blocked the feng shui of their ancestral tomb. After the incident, he reported to the police.
Mr. Li said that on July 17th, he communicated with the investigating police. He provided relevant recordings stating that the investigating police stated that the case has been accepted and is still being investigated for evidence.

Mr. Li's second uncle is named Li Jinxiang. Public information shows that Li Jinxiang was born in 1912 and was a soldier of the 47th Regiment of the Red Army before his death. He joined the army in 1930 and died in battle in Huilai County, Jieyang City, Guangdong Province in 1933 at the age of only 21.
Mr. Li told Pengpai News that after Li Jinxiang's sacrifice, he was buried in Wutian Village, Hongchang Town, Chaonan District, Shantou City. After the establishment of the People's Republic of China, he was recognized as a revolutionary martyr. As early as the 1940s and 1950s, Li Jinxiang's immediate relatives went to Malaysia and Hong Kong to settle, and only returned to their hometown around the Qingming Festival to sweep Li Jinxiang's grave.
