In a poignant moment of historical reconciliation, the remains of 43 Chinese People’s Volunteers (CPV) martyrs will be repatriated to the Chinese mainland from the Republic of Korea (ROK) this November. These soldiers bravely fought during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea nearly seven decades ago. 🌏✨
This marks the 11th repatriation since China and the ROK signed a landmark agreement in 2014. Over the past decade, 938 CPV martyrs’ remains—along with personal artifacts like faded letters and medals—have been returned, embodying a shared commitment to honoring history through humanitarian cooperation. 🤝🇰🇷
Key numbers you need to know:
🕯️ 200,000+ CPV soldiers lost their lives during the conflict.
📜 10 consecutive handovers since 2014, blending diplomacy and remembrance.
Both nations reaffirmed plans to continue this collaboration, bridging past sacrifices with present-day peace. For the Chinese mainland’s diaspora communities and history enthusiasts, this repatriation serves as a solemn reminder of resilience—and a step toward healing. 🕊️💛
