Storyline


The remains of 20 soldiers of the Chinese People's Volunteers who fought in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea (1950-1953) were returned to China from South Korea on Wednesday.

The plane of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) Air Force carrying the remains touched down at Shenyang Taoxian International Airport in northeast China's Liaoning Province at around 11:30.

A memorial service was held to mark the return.

For their comrades-in arms who have fought alongside these soldiers during the war and their relatives, the flight could be the one they have been waiting for over half an century.

Since the identities of these 20 sets of remains of volunteer soldiers were unknown, veterans at the ceremony could only regard them as their comrades-in-arms, and for the relatives, what really matters was bringing the remains back to the home soil.

The coffins were covered by China's national flag, which is the highest honor given by the PLA.

This is the fifth annual return under a 2013 agreement between China and South Korean, which has so far seen 569 sets of remains sent back to China.

Both countries agreed to repatriate the remains on humanitarian grounds.

These remains will be buried at a martyrs' cemetery in Shenyang on Thursday morning.
