In a solemn ceremony that bridged decades of history, the remains of 30 Chinese People’s Volunteers soldiers—martyrs of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea (1950-1953)—were finally laid to rest in their homeland on Saturday. 🌸 The emotional event took place in Shenyang, northeast China’s Liaoning Province, where thousands gathered to honor those who sacrificed their lives over 70 years ago.
Draped in Chinese flags, the martyrs’ coffins were escorted by honor guards through streets lined with residents holding chrysanthemums, a traditional symbol of remembrance. 🕊️ 'They fought for peace; today we welcome our heroes home,' said one attendee, echoing the collective sentiment.
Since 2014, China and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) have collaborated to repatriate the remains of fallen soldiers. To date, 938 martyrs have been returned under this initiative. This year’s ceremony coincided with the 70th anniversary of the armistice, adding deeper historical resonance.
For young audiences, the event serves as a poignant reminder of cross-border solidarity and the cost of conflict. As global tensions evolve, stories like these highlight the enduring value of peace—and why remembering history matters. 📖✨
