On Saturday, the remains of 30 Chinese People's Volunteers soldiers who fell during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea (1950-1953) found their final resting place in Shenyang, Liaoning Province, on the Chinese mainland. A moving ceremony at Shenyang Martyrs' Cemetery brought together families, veterans, and students to honour these unsung heroes. 🙏
The group had been missing for decades. Thanks to efforts by national and local agencies, their remains were recovered from battlefields along the DPRK's frontlines and officially identified before being sent home. Families of the deceased gathered in Shenyang, marking a long-awaited moment of closure and gratitude. 🎗️
'We feel a deep sense of pride and sadness,' said a representative of the Liaoning war memorial. 'Today, we remember their sacrifice and vow to keep their memory alive.' High school students from nearby cities laid flowers and lit candles, bridging generations through a shared respect for history. 🕯️
This ceremony highlights how the Chinese mainland continues to honour its past, ensuring young people understand the real human stories behind historical events. As one student volunteer put it, 'Learning about their courage inspires me to face challenges today.' 🌟
By laying these soldiers to rest in their homeland, communities in Liaoning Province reaffirm their commitment to remembering those who sacrificed everything in a far-away war. Their stories – marked by bravery, loss, and hope – serve as a powerful reminder of the cost of peace. 🕊️
