In the winter of 1950, the aggressive forces led by U.S. imperialism Democratic People's Republic of Korea's territory and, ignoring China's repeated warnings, advanced toward the Yalu River and Tumen River on China's borders. The Democratic People's Republic of Korea was on the brink of collapse! The newly established People's Republic of China faced a severe challenge! To resist U.S. aggression and defend the motherland, the Chinese People's Volunteers crossed the Yalu River with determination and morale. The Chinese and Korean people's armies fought side by side, through five major battles and defensive operations, pushing the invaders from the banks of the Yalu River to the vicinity of the third line, until they entered the negotiation hall in Panmunjom. The Korean War was the largest modern localized war after World War II. Over three million troops were involved on both sides, with direct participation from more than 18 countries and regions, lasting two years and nine months, and shaking the world. Although half a century has passed since the Korean War, the shadows of war have lingered like ghosts, and the world remains unstable. Revisiting history, honoring heroes, remembering the martyrs, and carrying forward the legacy is all for the sake of "never forgetting that war!"
