What is the purpose of commemorating the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea?

The purpose of commemorating the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea is to carry forward the national spirit and remember our ancestors.

On the battlefield to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea, a large number of heroic collectives and individuals emerged from the Chinese People’s Volunteers, who engraved their illustrious military exploits in the annals of history and created immortal spiritual monuments with sacrifice, dedication, and bloody courage. "Discipline is more important than life", "less steel but more spirit, never give up", "loyal, brave and good at fighting, innovative and striving to be the first", "brave, fierce fighting and perseverance", "selfless dedication to the people"...

These are the experiences of blood and blood. The precious spirit tempered by fire has been integrated into the blood of the heirs of heroes and passed down from generation to generation, becoming a powerful spiritual power that inspires officers and soldiers in the new era to strive to build a strong army and contribute to the military camp. On the occasion of commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Chinese People's Volunteers' mission abroad to fight against the United States and aid Korea, we have launched the "Heroic Blood and Cultural Heritage" column to visit the heroic company, understand the heroic spirit, and draw on the strength of struggle.
