On October 24, 2020, we took the high-speed train from Beijing to Dandong to participate in the theme activity of "The Republic will not forget to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Chinese Volunteer Army's war to resist the United States and aid Korea". Everywhere in the carriage I could see my companions dressed in the same clothes, all running in the same direction.

Since the establishment of the memorial, many volunteer soldiers have donated their medals to the memorial. The Order of Freedom and Independence of the First Class is one of the highest ranks of the Order of Merit in North Korea. But a few days ago, the children of the 38th Army of the Volunteer Army came to visit, and I did not find the medal donated by my father from the photos that came. When I filled out the donation certificate at the memorial, I had just reported my father's name, and the staff immediately said the medal and placement of the father's donation. I rushed to the display case and asked someone to take this picture.

Dandong Yalu River Broken Bridge

Unforgettable Dan Dongxing participated in the activities to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea

On the afternoon of October 25, the descendants of volunteer soldiers came to the famous Yalu River Broken Bridge. 70 years ago, some volunteer commanders and fighters crossed the Yalu River from here and pounced on the korean battlefield. In order to cut off the supply line of the Chinese side, the US military has repeatedly bombed the bridge indiscriminately. On November 8, 1950, the bridge was blown up, and the remaining four-hole residual bridge of the Chinese side has been preserved to this day, known as the "Yalu River Broken Bridge". In the nearly one hundred years since the advent of this bridge, it has witnessed the difficult process of the Chinese nation rising up and fighting, from experiencing setbacks to continuous victories, from standing up to getting rich and then becoming strong.

Sacrifice to the heroes

Unforgettable Dan Dongxing participated in the activities to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea

On the morning of October 26, the descendants of volunteer soldiers paid homage to the Martyrs' Cemetery of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea in Dandong. Located in the northern foothills of the scenic Jinjiang Mountains, the Dandong Martyrs' Cemetery is the earliest volunteer martyrs' cemetery built in China. At that time, the General Logistics Hospital of the Volunteer Army was located in Dandong, and the seriously injured who died and the wounded who died in transit were buried in Dandong. Cadres above the regimental level who died and famous combat heroes were transported back to China and were initially buried in Dandong. In May 1951, the 50th Volunteer Army returned to China to recuperate, and the first martyrs' cemetery was built here, where 400 Volunteer martyrs were buried. Including the volunteer army's special combat heroes Yang Gensi, Huang Jiguang and other martyrs. In August 1951, after the completion of the Shenyang Martyrs' Cemetery for Resisting US Aggression and Aiding Korea, some cadres at or above the regimental level and famous combat heroes were moved to Shenyang for burial.

The descendants of the volunteer soldiers who swept the martyrs' cemetery, holding flowers, stood solemnly under the martyrs' monument in the cemetery. With the commander-in-chief's command, the phalanx moved forward in a neat manner, picking up the steps, just like the wave of the army surging up, like a wave of tide. The descendants of the volunteer soldiers presented flower baskets to the Martyrs' Monument and arranged the ribbons on the baskets.

In front of the Martyrs' Monument, the descendants of four volunteer soldiers who recited the memorial text stood solemnly: Kuang Xiongwei, son of Kuang Fuzhao, political commissar of the 67th Army of the Volunteer Army, Wu Zhimin, son of Wu Dai, the second political commissar of the 38th Army of the Volunteer Army, Zeng Yao, daughter of Zeng Yongya, the first deputy commander of the 50th Army of the Volunteer Army, and Wu Yinghua, daughter of Wu Rongzheng, commander of the 21st Rocket Artillery Division of the Volunteer Army. During the preparation of the event, Liang Xiaodong asked me to recommend a descendant of the 38th Army of the Volunteer Army to recite the sacrifice text, and I recommended Jiang Kebin (son of Jiang Yonghui), but I did not expect that he accidentally fell and was injured while presiding over the memorial sweeping activity of the Martyrs' Cemetery of the Anti-US Aggression and Aid Korea in Shenyang on the 11th, so I had to recite it.

Oration

Liri Dandong, Guangyao Cemetery,

Descendants are lined up, and the heroic spirits are majestic.

Seventy years ago, the peninsula was smoking,

The robbers attacked, and three thousand miles of the country fell.

On the banks of the Yalu River, the military flag rolls,

Soldiers go out on the battlefield, righteousness thin clouds.

To resist US aggression and aid Korea, defending the family and defending the country is on the shoulders.

Five battles, the soul of the American army is scattered,

The iron stream rolled and hit back the three-eighth line.

Fight again in blood, and the strong enemy will eventually lose his courage,

An armistice was agreed, and victory was sung triumphantly.

Sons and daughters of China, Zhuangzhi Mijian,

Loyalty and heroism, the people praise.

Songku peak, Chosin Lake, Shangganling

Every inch of the soil is stained with blood.

Longyuanli, Hanjiang South, Lao bald mountain

Loyalty is still cold.

Open the "List of Volunteer Martyrs",

Sacrifice Yourself Yang Gensi, Heroic Huang Jiguang,

There are more than a hundred thousand strong men.

Looking up at the "Monument to the Martyrs of the Volunteer Army",

Blood spilled for three thousand miles, and the shroud of Magee was returned,

There are more than 190,000 loyal souls.

Stepping on the enemy's feet, arrogant and fierce,

Qi runs through the long rainbow, standing against the sky,

Heroes tower into the clouds.

The descendants stand solemnly, weeping and crying,

Heroic, smile at today.

The people are rich and the country is strong, and the military is majestic,

Thief, who dares to commit a crime?

War eagle empty, dragon fu hai,

Dongfeng Express, Beidou Twenty Days.

If the enemy provokes, there will be no return,

The great revival will be realized.

Heroic through the ages, righteous and majestic,

With the sun and the moon, the rivers are immortal,

Across heaven and earth, through time and space,

National merit will be passed on from generation to generation!

The exploits of the martyrs of the Volunteer Army are impressive!

The heroic name of the volunteer martyr Wangu Liufang!

In the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, a large number of propaganda works appeared, causing a sensation in the whole country, and it was Wei Wei's "Who is the Cutest Man?" On the orders of the General Political Department of the People's Liberation Army, Wei Wei went to Korea to accompany the army (December 1950 to February of the following year), and came across many stories of heroism that were deeply felt, especially in the second battle, the 112th Division of the 38th Army surrounded and intercepted the enemy who was retreating to the south, and encountered the well-armed American troops at Songkuo Peak, fighting a tragic battle that shocked the world and wept ghosts. The heroic feats and feelings deeply touched Wei Wei, who was also a soldier, and in his passionate thoughts, he turned it into an immortal poem that touched thousands of Chinese people and inspired Chinese soldiers, one by one, reportage "Who is the most lovely person". It was published in the People's Daily on April 11, 1951, and Chairman Mao issued instructions: Print and distribute to the whole army. Since then, "the loveliest person" has become synonymous with the volunteer army. I invite Wei Ping and the descendants of the 38th Army to take a group photo.
