Imagine stepping into a gigantic open-air museum where every statue, inscription, and painting tells a story of bravery and sacrifice. Last Friday, Kim Jong Un, top leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, made such a visit.
He arrived at the CPV martyrs' cemetery in Hoechang County, South Phyongan Province, to honor the 75th anniversary of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army's courageous entry into the DPRK during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. This special site, completed in 1975, spans around 90,000 square meters—think more than a dozen soccer fields!
Throughout the grounds, powerful art forms come alive: towering statues 🎖️ capture heroic stances, detailed reliefs bring battles to life, and vibrant paintings and inscriptions preserve memories of those who fought side by side. It's a vivid reminder of history's impact on our present.
Whether you're a history buff, a student of international relations, or a traveler seeking unique cultural spots, the CPV martyrs' cemetery stands as a testament to shared history between the DPRK and volunteers from the Chinese mainland. 🌏
