¡¡¡¡The red lying stone over Taishan symbolizes Kong Fansen's patriotic passion, faith and indomitable will. ¡°People-oriented, pragmatic and honest¡± are the general requirements of the party's mass line, which not only highly summarizes the rich connotation of Kong Fansen spirit, but also provides a code of conduct for the majority of Party members and cadres.
¡¡¡¡Three greeting pine trees in Taishan behind the red lie stone are arranged in the form of three kinds of assembly triangle, implying that three trees can be a forest. The landscape represents that Kong has a good character just like the pine and has a tone of will.
¡¡¡¡The Party Central Committee called for Kong Fansen's deeds and spirit as a mirror, a ruler, so that the cadres can progress. The copperplate road designed Kong Fansen's fifty years of experience (from his birth at Wulidun to his death in line of duty) as a ruler, as a contrast to everyone. The altitude of the mark remembers his life journey from the west plain to the roof of the world, from the ordinary to the great, and to the arduous journey of serving the people!
¡¡¡¡Liaocheng has a nickname of ¡°the water city in the area north of the Yangtze River¡± while the lotus is praised by the world for its character of "emerge unstained from the filth ". ¡°Lotus¡± stands for ¡±he¡± (harmony), which not only has the meaning of harmony and unity, but also symbolize that the spirit of Kong Fansen blossoms in his hometown of Liaocheng.

¡¡¡¡The two sculptures ¡°Clean Lotus in the City¡± and ¡°Snow lotus in Ali¡± on both sides of the square express Kong Fansen "honest" noble quality. ¡°The road that links hearts¡±, paved by white pebbles, between the two sculptures is just like a bond of love and friendship, closely connecting Liaocheng with Ali, Shandong and Tibet, the mainland and the border, plains and plateaus, the Han and Tibetan compatriots, the party and the people.
¡¡¡¡This abstract sculpture means "red monument, great man". From the front, it is a monument standing tall and straight and a mountain touching the sky. The side is a herringbone shape. One stroke to the left and another to the right is designed as flying flags, symbolizing ¡°One man leads, three men form a group¡±. The base is slope shape design just like a boat that rides the wind and waves of the ship echoing with the Dongchang Lake or the zigzag life road. It symbolizes that, under the inspiration of Kong Fansen spirit, good party members and cadres, good citizens continue to emerge and hold up one's head high and advance by long strides in the great journey of realizing the Chinese dream.
¡¡¡¡Fifty copper shoe embedded in stone was made according to Kong Fansen's sneakers that were often worn in Ali when he went to the countryside, symbolizing Kong¡¯s pioneering spirit through trials and tribulations and his spirit of severing the people. These fifty pieces of dark red stone is a stone in front of the old hall, bearing witness to millions of visitors to learn the spirit of the heroic deeds of Kong Fansen since it has been opened in September 10, 1995.

Thanks to the training and education of the Party, he went to schools, joined the army, became a member of the Party, and joined the workforce. He kept improving himself and gradually developed his Marxist worldview, outlook on life and sense of values . He fortified his communist ideals and convictions, and retained the nature of working people. He maintained close ties with the people and did solid work to serve them wholeheartedly.
¡¡¡¡During the new historic period of reform and opening , Kong Fansen spent ten years working for Tibet at two intervals. There he upheld the leadership of the Party, relied firmly on the people, and strengthened ethnic unity. Seizing opportunities, he was resolute in carrying out reform, stayed realistic and pragmatic and broke new ground. He defied dangers, overcame difficulties, and pursued selfless dedication. He made an outstanding contribution to the development, progress, and stability of Tibet and to the happy lives of the Tibetan people. He practiced the Party¡¯s mass line by taking exemplary action to serve the people.
¡¡¡¡Kong Fansen always kept in close touch with the people and regarded Tibet as his hometown. He treated older Tibetans in the way as he did for his parents and treated Tibetan kids as he did for his own children. He stayed ready to help those in need, carefully maintained ethnic unity, and did everything in his power to benefit the people. He loved his motherland, hometown, colleagues and friends. He loved to work and enjoyed his life. He had high moral standards and excellent taste. He was both a hardworking official and a kind and affectionate person.
¡¡¡¡Kong Fansen had strict self-cultivation, was careful in the exercise of power, and observed strict self-discipline.

He exercised self-restraint, set a good example and played his part in leading the Party committee in executing the principal role in improving the Party¡¯s conduct and integrity.

He died on an official visit to Xinjiang on November 29, 1994, thus leaving the land and people he loved behind forever and leaving his plan for developing Ngari unfinished. His death overwhelmed his relatives and left to future generations endless memory. People in his hometown and in Tibet and Xinjiang all greatly regreted over the loss of him, an honorable official of the Party. The towering snow-capped mountains and the torrential Yellow River attest to his brilliant achievements that move everyone to tears.
