In 2023, North Korea held a grand military parade to commemorate the 70th anniversary of its victory in the Korean War. The ceremony attracted the attention of the world and reminded people of the terrible war. During the ceremony, China and Russia sent a viewing delegation to commemorate their tremendous help to North Korea during the war. While remembering the war, people also admire the martyrs who gave everything for North Korea.
Among them, two fighters were named "special heroes", they are Yang Gensi and Huang Jiguang. The War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was the first major battle experienced after the founding of New China. The Chinese volunteers defeated the US army, which has always dominated the world, in this war, but this victory was won by the death of countless martyrs and the huge price of the Chinese volunteers.
To encourage future generations and let the soldiers know that the Party and the state see and remember their efforts, China has rated and commended these heroes. The total number of volunteers participating in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea was as high as 2.9 million, of which more than 300,000 won the titles of battle merits, heroes and models at all levels, but only two soldiers received the title of "special heroes": Yang Gensi and Huang Jiguang.
It is very difficult to get the title of "Grandhero". Take He Xuegao, a first-class combat hero in the mainland People's Liberation Army, as an example, when he participated in the "self-defense counterattack war against Vietnam", he did not hesitate to sacrifice himself in order to protect the troops and complete the task, and finally killed two enemy soldiers. Although his heroic deeds were widely praised, he only received the title of Combat Hero of the First Class. It can be seen that the selection criteria for the title of "Special Hero" are very high.
Yang Gensi is known as the "Demolition King". He was born into a poor family and had a difficult early life. In order to change his fate, Yang Gensi joined the New Fourth Army and became a demolition expert. On the battlefield, he has always believed that there are no tasks that cannot be completed, no difficulties and enemies that cannot be defeated. His blasting skills played an important role in several campaigns, including the Battle of Lunan and the Battle of Huaihai.
However, in the second battle of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, Yang Gensi encountered the most tragic battle of his life. He and his comrades ambushed on a small ridge in the freezing weather and tenaciously blocked the repeated attacks of the American army. However, when the last attack came, only Yang Gensi and four other fighters remained.
He decisively decided to let the others retreat, and he stayed behind to detonate a five-kilogram explosive package and die with the enemy army. Yang Gensi was thus awarded the title of "Special Hero", his deeds were widely celebrated, and his company was named after him to always remember his bravery. Huang Jiguang is another warrior who is deeply influenced by the "Yang Gensi Spirit". He was also born into a poor family and experienced hardship and oppression.
When Sichuan was liberated, Huang Jiguang actively participated in various encirclement and suppression activities. After the outbreak of the Korean War, he signed up for the Chinese Volunteer Army with love for his homeland. Although he was too short to be selected, through his own efforts and persistence, he was eventually hired as a volunteer soldier. In North Korea, Hwang Jiguang was first placed in the logistics department, but he was eager to go into battle and kill the enemy, and repeatedly asked to fight.
However, during one battle, he volunteered to go to the heights to blow up the enemy fort. In the process of completing the mission with his comrades, Huang Jiguang sacrificed his life to block the gun's hole, provided a safe environment for his comrades' charge, and finally sacrificed himself. His heroic deeds led to the recapture of the position and the total annihilation of the enemy army. As a result, Huang Jiguang also received the title of "Special Hero", and he became a highly admired hero in the Chinese military.
The deeds of Yang Gensi and Huang Jiguang fully demonstrate their selfless dedication to the motherland and people. They interpreted the responsibilities and responsibilities of warriors with their actions, and became examples for future generations to learn from and revere. Their deeds will forever be engraved in history, inspiring us to continue to move forward and strive for the realization of the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
