the old man Li Chengxun explained in the cemetery with tears of
the Global Times reporter visited Pyongyang, Kaesong, Cheng Chuan, Hui bin, Chang Jin, Anzhou and many other martyrs cemetery of Chinese people's volunteers. The farthest way to go is to go up to mount Ma plateau in the north and visit Chang Jin Hu to pay homage to the martyrs who died in the battle of the long Jin lake.
the area of Long Jin lake is now under the jurisdiction of Long Jin county, South ham Road, North Korea, where the mountain road is dangerous and the winter is cold. From November 27, 1950 to December 24th, the battle of the battle of Chang Jin Lake took place in the important battle of the war to resist US aggression and aid Korea. Last fall, the Global Times reporter took a DPRK's domestic "cuckoo" SUV car from Pyongyang and went through the Yuan Shan, Hamhung and zongjin by the Foreign Affairs Department of DPRK's "Labor News". In February 1958, Premier Zhou Enlai visited Hamhung in the snow during his visit to the north. In Hamhung's Xing Nan chemical fertilizer plant, he still has a bronze statue of Premier Zhou. This is the only bronze statue set up for foreign leaders in North Korea.
with the company of the people's Committee of Chang Jin county, the Global Times reporter looked at the monument to Yang Gensi martyrs, the monument of the Chinese people's volunteer martyrs, and the cemetery of the joint burial of the volunteers of the Chang Jin Yi army. The inscription on the monument to the martyrs of the Chinese people's volunteer army said: "the Chinese people's Volunteer Army east line troops, together with the Korean people's army, have annihilated more than 13900 enemies in the zongjin lake, combined with the victory of the Chinese people's army in the west line, completely shattering the" general offensive "of the enemy's arrogance and boasting, and thus reversing the war. Looking back on history, the battle of Chang Jin lake was carried out more than 60 years ago. It was the winter of the cold spell in Siberia, and the lowest temperature at night was close to 40 degrees below zero. The officers and men of the ninth regiment of the volunteer army were fighting blood with the enemy in such a bad environment for twenty-eight days and nights, creating a miracle in the frigid zone.
Li Chengxun, who is 70 years old for managing and caring for the tomb of the martyrs and memorial facilities of the volunteer army, has not left here for more than 40 years after he graduated from University at the age of 28, and has been awarded the flag and medal of labor by the government of the DPRK for this 6 times. Seeing the reporter from China, the old man hummed "gallantly and spirited across the Yalu River." Li Chengxun said he was only 6 years old when the war was fighting, and the volunteer army had spent a few days in his home, a very young soldier, and his mother and her neighbour had helped the volunteers to do shoes and socks.
there are three voluntary burial sites in Chang Jin county, which are located in Chang Jin Yi, Xinxing and Chi Shui (place names). According to the old man Li Chengxun, Chang Jin Yi was buried in the 5667 volunteer martyrs sacrificed in the battle of Chang Jin lake, and there were 7 and 3 burial tombs in the other two cemetery, and 2989 and 1210 volunteer martyrs were buried in a total of 9866.
"the volunteer army is not easy, very brave, so cold day, the fighting is very tragic, many people are frostbitten, sacrifice, they are still very young..." At the end of the interview, Li Chengxun was choking with tears and tears in his eyes. The Global Times reporter also shed tears and came forward to help the elderly.
