摘　　要：历史上关于抗击八国联军的爱国将领,当时镇守天津大沽炮台的守将——罗荣光之死的说法有战死、病死、噎死、仰药死、吞金死五种之多,孰是孰非,莫衷一是。到底哪一种说法正确,至今尚无明确定论。通过查阅史料和走访罗荣光家乡的老人,并对之进行认真分析和反复比较,特别是对罗荣光家乡的实地调查,以及对"文革"中亲眼看到罗荣光坟墓被掘开,亲眼看到罗将军头骨的鸦溪村民的走访,结合史料,去伪存真,最终得出结论,罗将军是为保卫天津大沽炮台而光荣战死的。这对还历史以真相,还英烈清白之名,亦是有益的。Versions about the death of Luo Rongguang, a patriotic general of Dagu Barbette garrisoned in Tianjin to defend it against the invasion of the Eight-Power Allied Forces vary from being killed on the battlefield, of sicknes of choke, of taking poison, and of swallowing gold. There is no evidence found to prove which one is the assured. Based on my research of a series of investigations into his hometown, visits and talks with some of his elderly fellow villagers in Yaxi, historical data and documents, evidences found when General Luo＇s grave was dug out and his bone shown during the Chinese Cultural Revolution, I reach the conclusion that General Luo sacrificed his life honorably in the battle of protecting Dagu Barbette in Tianjin after careful comparisons and analyses. This is of great significance to the truth of history, as well as the innocence of our national hero.
