General Lin Pi, a native of Tong'an County in Fujian, was a renowned commander under Ming loyalist Koxinga. His battlefield record was illustrious, rising to the rank of staff-commander. When he first arrived at Douliu-men (present-day Douliu) he garrisoned troops and opened land for cultivation; at that time the aborigines around Zhushan were numerous, so he led an assault on Niuchukou (now Zhonghe Village, Zhushan) and Dongpura (now Yanping Village, Zhushan), then stationed at Zhuwei Village (today's Zhuwei Village, Zhushan). One day he was surrounded by the aborigines; ammunition and food were exhausted, and more than a hundred of his men perished here. In 1940 the Japanese, admiring his exemplary spirit, launched a large-scale project to erect a stele and build an embankment so that future generations could pay their respects.
