The ruins of the Pingdingshan Massacre are situated on Pingshan Street in Fushun City, Liaoning Province.

Pingdingshan Village was originally a small, densely populated and prosperous village. When Japanese imperialism swept over China, many Chinese people were slaughtered in Pingdingshan Village. On September 16, 1932, Japanese troops surrounded the village and unleashed the Pingdingshan Massacre, forcing over 3,000 miners and peasants -- young and old, male and female -- to the foot of the hills where they mercilessly slaughtered groups of people. They later burned the bodies and blew up the hill to conceal the evidence. In addition, the Japanese burned down all 600 houses in the village.

On the Tomb-Sweeping Day in 1951, people of Fushun City set up a monument to the compatriots who died in the massacre at the foot of the hills. In 1972, remains of 800 dead compatriots were unearthed within 80- by 5-meters of the area. Soon after, the exhibition hall for the remains of the compatriots who died in the Pingdingshan Massacre was established for public viewing.
