The monument depicted is the Wuhan National Government Martyrs' Memorial Monument, also known as the Northern Expedition Fallen Soldiers Memorial Monument, located in Wuchang, Wuhan, China. Erected in 1928, it commemorates the soldiers who died during the Northern Expedition, a pivotal military campaign led by the Kuomintang (KMT) between 1926 and 1928 to unify China under a single government. The tiered structure, topped by a "Goddess of Liberty" holding a torch and tablet, symbolizes the revolutionary ideals of freedom and national sovereignty.

This monument stands as a powerful symbol of national unity and the sacrifices made during a period of significant political and social upheaval in early 20th-century China, representing the aspirations for a unified and modern Chinese nation.
