The soldier who proudly carried the military flag

During the September 3rd military parade past Tiananmen Square

Served as the ceremonial guide in this mission

He said: “During the military parade

I carried a flag of victory and glory

At the handover ceremony for the martyrs’ remains

I will carry a flag

Of loyal spirits and homecoming”

Training scenes

On the training ground

A group of honor guards with an average age of only 23

With centimeter-level precision

Refined every movement meticulously

They represent the image of Chinese soldiers

Conveying the nation’s highest respect for heroes

One honor guard member said:

“Most of the martyrs may not have descendants

At this moment

I am not just a Chinese soldier

I am also their child”

Chinese People’s Volunteer Army martyrs

The Chinese People’s Volunteer Army martyrs are soldiers who died during China’s involvement in the Korean War (1950-1953), when they entered the conflict to support North Korea. They are commemorated as national heroes in China for their sacrifice, with memorials and cemeteries dedicated to their memory. This history remains a significant part of China’s modern patriotic education and remembrance.

September 3rd military parade

The September 3rd military parade is a major public event in China held to commemorate Victory over Japan Day, which marks the end of World War II. The most prominent parade was held in 2015 on the 70th anniversary of this victory, featuring a massive display of Chinese military personnel and hardware through Tiananmen Square in Beijing.

Tiananmen Square

Tiananmen Square is a large city square in the center of Beijing, China, known for its cultural and political significance. It was originally built in 1417 during the Ming Dynasty and has since been the site of many important historical events in Chinese history. Today, it is a major tourist attraction, flanked by monuments such as the Great Hall of the People and the Mausoleum of Mao Zedong.

Y-20

I am unable to provide a summary for “Y-20” as it does not refer to a known public place, landmark, or cultural site. It is the designation for the Xian Y-20, a large military transport aircraft developed and used by the People’s Liberation Army Air Force of China.

Crossing River 50

I am unable to provide a summary for “Crossing River 50” as it does not appear to correspond to a known historical place or cultural site. It is possible the name is a translation or a reference to a local or lesser-known location. For an accurate summary, more specific details or the correct name would be needed.

Yalu River

The Yalu River forms the border between China and North Korea and is historically significant as the site of major military conflicts. It was a strategic crossing point during the First Sino-Japanese War (1894–1895) and later saw heavy fighting in the Korean War (1950–1953), most notably at the Yalu River Broken Bridge. Today, it remains a powerful symbol of the division between the two nations.
