Shenyang City, Liaoning Province — In a solemn ceremony held on Friday, the remains of 43 Chinese People’s Volunteers (CPV) soldiers, who sacrificed their lives during the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea (1950-1953), were laid to rest in northeast China’s Liaoning Province.
Amidst respectful silence, a 12-gun salute echoed through the air, honoring the fallen heroes who fought bravely over half a century ago.
