Red Well 红井 is located in Shazhouba, Ruijin. The Shazhouba is a dry and water-scarce village. One day in September of the 22nd year of the Republic of China (1933), Mao Zedong led several Red Army soldiers to explore the water source dozens of meters in front of the village and broke the ground to start construction.
After the well was dug, it was built with pebbles. In 1950, the people of Ruijin repaired the well and named it “Red Well” to welcome the arrival of the delegation from the old central southern base. At the same time, they put up a wooden sign beside the well, which said, “Don’t forget the diggers when drinking water, and always miss Chairman Mao.” Later, the wooden sign was changed to a stone tablet.
