In particular, the first to fifth battles fought in the world's attention, and even more they played a role in the prestige of the country and the military might, which was called the "war of founding the country."
When the volunteer army first entered the DPRK, the sacrifice was also very large, and it was not easy for the volunteer soldiers who could participate in the first to fifth battles. Liu Xueji, former commander of the Ningxia Military Region, was very honored to participate in the first to fourth battles.
Liu Xueji was born in December 1928 in Xinzhou, Shanxi. In October 1938, Liu Xueji, who was not yet ten years old, joined the Eighth Route Army. By the eve of the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, Liu Xueji was already a platoon leader of the 2nd Brigade Guard in zhangjiakou garrison.
