The Korean War is a historical commemoration that will never be forgotten.
In the history of China and the world, the Korean War is a memory that should never be forgotten. In order to defend the world and safeguard world fairness and justice, the Chinese People's Volunteers went abroad to fight in Korea, and with their stubborn fighting will and heroic sacrifice spirit, they finally won the victory in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea.
The day of victory will always be engraved in the long river of history. **September 3 of each year is designated as the Day to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea;October 25 was the anniversary of the first battle after the Chinese People's Volunteers entered the DPRK. During their more than two years in the DPRK, more than 190,000 volunteer soldiers have been laid to rest in a foreign land for the sake of the country and the dignity of the nation. They are the pride of China, the backbone of the Chinese nation, and the eternal heroes in the hearts of all Chinese.
On September 16, 2022, as the Y-20 slowly landed at Shenyang Airport, the remains of the ninth batch of volunteer martyrs returned by South Korea finally returned to the embrace of the motherland. **The remains of 88 martyrs were escorted from the airport all the way to the Shenyang Martyrs' Cemetery to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. It was raining that day, which showed a serious and solemn atmosphere. On both sides of the road, there were many spontaneous crowds, including some veterans, who stood on the side of the road in the heavy rain and silently saluted the military vehicle containing the remains of the martyrs. They finally waited for their former comrades-in-arms to come home.
How exactly are the remains of volunteer martyrs in the Korean War kept in North and South Korea?To answer this question, we need to go back to the time of the outbreak of the Korean War.
The Korean War was originally intended as a civil war on the Korean Peninsula and evolved from an armed conflict between the two regimes of the two Koreas. China was not meant to be involved in this war. However, Western countries, represented by the United States, took advantage of this opportunity to try to intervene in the civil war on the peninsula. Prior to the U.S. move, China had repeatedly expressed its firm opposition to the U.S. position. However, despite China's concerns, the United States landed at Inchon on September 15, 1950, and invaded Korea on a large scale in the name of joint **. If the war stays at the 38th parallel, China may not need to enter the war. However, the ambitions of the United States allowed the war to spread to the banks of the Yalu River, and even bombed Northeast China, causing huge losses of life and property. Faced with this situation, ** decided to resist US aggression and aid Korea in order to protect the homeland and defend the country.
At that time, China had just been founded, the national economy had not recovered, and the land of China was suffering from war. **The Korean War was an unexpected event, so China's participation in the war was poorly prepared, the level of defense industry was low, and the battlefield environment was harsh. On October 19, 1950, ** led the Chinese People's Volunteers to fight in Korea until the end of the war, and about 197,000 people died in this battle. Due to the lack of preparation of our side and the poor level of the defense industry, it was extremely difficult to participate in the war. Volunteer soldiers often fought hand-to-hand combat with enemy troops, and even engaged in hand-to-hand combat, out of desperation.
The heroic fighting style of the volunteers is astounding. ** An American war correspondent recalled that the Volunteers' charge horn generally sounded in the early hours of the morning, and the U.S. troops could only hear the sound of rushing and killing in the dark night, and could not see the direction of the Volunteers' attack. When the flares were issued, the entire battlefield instantly brightened, and the reporter saw that the eyes of the volunteer soldiers were very large and round, and they rushed towards the enemy line in a daze. This deterrent force is terrifying for the US military.
On the Korean battlefield, due to the staggered trenches of both sides, hand-to-hand combat tactics were implemented, resulting in corpses all over the battlefield. **If the battle is won, we can search for the corpse and bring it back for detailed documentation. However, there are situations of staggered and rapid marching in wars, sometimes it is impossible to discern the corpses, and perhaps even all the fighters are killed.
In order to carry out post-war work in an orderly manner, the Volunteer Army set up a "corpse disposal unit". * The mission of this special unit is to clean up the battlefield, count the number of people, and collect the bodies of their comrades after the war. Due to the battlefield environment, the troops were poorly equipped, with only basic protective equipment and simple tools such as rakes and shovels. On the battlefield, because most of the comrades-in-arms were killed and injured by the opponent's heavy firepower, the corpses were incomplete, and they needed to be collected and pieced together one by one with tools.
The tactics of the Volunteer Army in the war were flexible and changeable. ** There were several battles in the area south of the 38th Parallel, and our troops pushed the enemy to the 38th Parallel and then retreated as a warning. This shows the image of China's mighty army and civilized army. After the war, the remains of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army soldiers remained not only in North Korea, but also in South Korea.
After the end of the war, the North Korean side built a cemetery to bury the remains of the martyrs of the volunteers. **However, due to tensions between China and North Korea, the North Korean side has repeatedly damaged the cemetery of the volunteers. With the easing of relations between China and North Korea, the North Korean side began to rebuild the cemetery and carry out exhumation work. However, the work was interrupted at a time when relations between the two countries were strained.
In the 90s of the last century, the South Korean side found a large number of remains of volunteer martyrs, but the relations between the North and the South were tense and could not be properly placed. It was not until 1996 that South Korea built a "Chinese cemetery" to store the remains. In 2013, relations between China and South Korea eased, and the two countries agreed to return the remains of volunteers once a year, which has been done nine times so far.
In September 2022, the remains of volunteers returned by South Korea were returned to their homeland again. **This ceremony is not only a consolation to the volunteer soldiers, but also a positive embodiment of China-South Korea relations. The slumbering time of Chinese heroes has finally come to an end, and the moment of glory has been awakened, allowing the world to remember that eternal history.
Chinese heroes, 70 years of sleeping on the way home, glorious moments reappear.
