"Drunken battlefield Jun Mo smiled, gulai conquest of a few people back", war has always been cruel, but the soldiers shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting the family for the country, in the Second World War, our country has an army that went abroad to fight, they are the Chinese Expeditionary Force.
In 1941, after the outbreak of the Pacific War, the Japanese army swept through Southeast Asia, the spearhead pointed directly at Burma, in order to prevent the Japanese army from cutting off the connection between the Pacific and Burma, the United States and Britain hoped to use China's strength to counter the Japanese army, in 1941, the Chinese Expeditionary Force marched into Burma to resist the invaders.
From 1943 to 1945, the Chinese Expeditionary Force recovered more than 50 large and small cities in northern Burma, recovered 83,000 kilometers of lost land in western Burma, and annihilated more than 49,000 Japanese troops, but there was no inevitable sacrifice in war, according to post-war statistics, the Chinese Expeditionary Force suffered 67,000 casualties.
From ancient times to the present, Chinese has a tradition of returning to the roots of fallen leaves, and these sacrificial expeditionary forces must have wanted to return to the motherland, but at that time, the soldiers were in chaos, coupled with limited transportation conditions, only part of the expeditionary forces were transported back to the country for thick burial, and nearly 40,000 expeditionary forces were buried in Burma.
Before leaving, the expeditionary force repaired the graves of the sacrificial soldiers, even if it was a temporary place of return, but also to make them lie more comfortable, after the end of the war, our country repeatedly planned to move the expeditionary force back to the country, but due to various difficulties in the Anglo-Burmese period, it has been difficult to achieve.
With the establishment of diplomatic relations between countries, there are also some international students in China studying in Myanmar, on July 7, 1987, the anniversary of Lugou Bridge, some international students spontaneously went to the Monument of the Chinese Expeditionary Force to lay wreaths, but they do not know why they were prevented, they are difficult to understand.
Because the cemetery of the British and American Allies was well repaired, never heard of being blocked, and later the Chinese students paid tribute to the Chinese Expeditionary Force under repeated protests, and in the decades after that, Chinese students would go to the Monument of the Chinese Expeditionary Force to visit these veterans who were far away.
However, with the economic development of Myanmar, some areas have been urbanized, in order to develop rapid economic development, the development of land is indispensable, but Myanmar's land area is only 670,000, and the terrain is high in the north and low in the south, the north is high mountainous, the east is plateau, the west is hilly and Rakhine Mountains, and the areas that can be developed are very limited.
In order to be able to build high-rise buildings, Myanmar has classified one of the cemeteries of the Chinese Expeditionary Force as a development category, which has made our country very angry, protested many times, and Chinese students have also organized to oppose, not only them, but also the local Burmese people do not agree.
However, in the face of so many protests, Burma still ignored and demolished the cemetery, and what is even more infuriating is that the mausoleum of the Anglo-American Alliance, which is not far from the Chinese Expeditionary Force, has not moved at all.
