Legacy
In the People's Republic of China, Ehmetjan is remembered as a martyr and hero in the struggle against the Nationalist regime. His remains were returned to China in April 1950 and later reburied in a martyr’s memorial cemetery in Yining. The cemetery has a stele with calligraphy by Mao Zedong, praising Ehmetjan and his fellow martyrs for their contributions to the Chinese people’s revolution and mourning their death en route to the Inaugural Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference in Beijing.
