65438+February 24th is Christmas Eve in western countries. But for China, today is also a memorable "Christmas Eve". 7 1 years ago 12 On February 24th, Chinese people's Volunteer Army successfully ended the second campaign to resist U.S. aggression and aid Korea, completely shattered the attempt of the "United Nations Army" to occupy the whole territory of Korea, and forced the "United Nations Army" to change from offensive to defensive, thus fundamentally reversing the Korean war situation.

The origin of Christmas Eve is as follows:

Legend has it that on the night of Jesus' birth, shepherds herding sheep in the wilderness suddenly heard a voice in the sky telling them the news of Jesus' birth. According to the Bible, Jesus came to the world to be the king of the world and become a person that everyone believes, so angels spread the news to more people through these shepherds. So more people know that Jesus is about to be born.

Later, people imitated the angel and publicized the date of Jesus' birth everywhere, so people spread the news of Jesus' birth everywhere on Christmas Eve. Until today, it has evolved into a good news activity. And this activity is gradually passed down. So it gradually became what people call Christmas Eve, that is, Christmas Eve. Therefore, the night of 65438+February 24th is traditionally called "Christmas Eve" or "Christmas Eve".
