Notable people
 Wang Guangze (; 19031934), the Divisional Commander () of Red Army Qiandong Independent Division () and one of Revolutionary Martyrs. Wang was arrested by the enemy on November 28, 1934 in Xiushan County, Sichuan (modern Chongqing). Chiang Kai-shek ordered Liu Xiang to execute him and Wang was secretly killed in Youyang County on December 21, 1934 when Wang was at his age of 31 years old. Since 1949, the government of Youyang County has been searching for his remains. In April 1982, his remains were found in Yanjiapo (), two kilometers from the seat of Longtan Town (). The iron shovel was still on the cheekbones of the martyr, and its appearance was appalling. In November 1983, the government of Youyang County buried Wang's remains in the Martyrs’ Cemetery of Longtan Town to build a monument to commemorate forever.
