Brilliant Feats Everlasting with Korea-China Friendship

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

    Pyongyang, October 24 (KCNA) -- Fifty-five years have passed since the Chinese People's Volunteers entered the Korean War (1950-1953) on October 25, 1950. The Party and the government of China dispatched their fine sons and daughters to the Korean front under the banner of resisting America and aiding Korea, safeguarding the home and defending the motherland though the People's Republic of China was one year old.
    The Chinese comrades-in-arms fought shoulder to shoulder with the Korean People's Army in the same trench, displaying a mass heroism and unparalleled devotion to the full.
    Mountains and heights of Korea are dyed in the blood shed by brave Chinese People's Volunteers and associated with their feats. A Chinese hero, when he ran out of explosives and grenades in a charge of a height, covered the enemy's gun muzzle with his breast, shouting "Forwards for Korea, brother country!"
    Three volunteers of Sanggam Pass fought enemy's company and battalion for three days and defended the height even under the hail of 250,000-300,000 shells and bombs a day.
    Huang Qiguang, 21, who had his arms and shoulder seriously wounded, silenced the enemy's pillbox with his body, and his platoon leader, who was a member of the Communist Party of China, plunged himself into the enemy's position with a bunch of hand-grenades, thus ensuring the victory of their unit in the battle.
    In the spring of 1951, two volunteers died after rescuing Koreans in a village of Pongchon County engulfed in flames by an enemy's bombing raid. And on the bank of the River Rimjin in April 1951, two volunteers allured an enemy's aircraft to them to get serious wounds and thus protected the lives of more than 100 people.
    During two years and nine months of the participation in the war, the Chinese People's Volunteers produced more than 661,740 recipients of medals and orders including 12 heroes of the DPRK.
    The feats performed by the volunteers in the years of the war will shine long along with the unbreakable Korea-China friendship. The people of the DPRK are sincerely grateful to the brotherly Chinese people for having helped them with blood during the hard-fought war, rendered mental and material support in difficult periods including the postwar rehabilitation and construction and built gratis the modern Taean Friendship Glass Factory, a symbol of the friendship between the two countries in the 21st century.
    The traditional Korea-China friendship provided by the great leaders of the Korean and Chinese peoples in the anti-Japanese struggle continues to grow stronger under the deep care of the leaders of the two countries today.
