We did not establish diplomatic relations with South Korea after that.
Therefore, the work of returning the remains has been stalled.
It wasn't until Park Hye was elected president and visited our country that she brought up the fact that there were remains of Chinese People's Volunteer Army soldiers still in their country.
This successfully launched the mission to repatriate the remains of Chinese People's Volunteer Army soldiers.
Since then, ten batches of remains of Chinese People's Volunteer Army soldiers have been successfully returned to their motherland.
But countless Chinese People's Volunteer Army soldiers still lie buried underground on South Korean soil.
Yuan Yi was naturally aware of this matter as well.
So when I heard Gou Dan'er say that he was searching for remains at the positions where the Chinese People's Volunteer Army died during the war.
Yuan Yi decisively backed down; this was a very sacred task.
At this point, some people might say...
So why aren't the remains of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army soldiers in North Korea returned to China?
Because the two countries were allies who fought side by side back then, many officers and soldiers of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army had deep feelings for the Korean People's Army and the people who supported the front. For the cause of the liberation of the Korean people, for the security and stability of our motherland's northern border, and for maintaining the blood alliance between the two countries, the officers and soldiers of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army were willing to sacrifice everything.
Therefore, unlike dying in the Korean War, dying in the three thousand miles of the country and being buried in North Korea is also a magnificent final resting place for the martyrs of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army.
The great man once said that his son was just an ordinary soldier and that his body should be buried where he died.
For the above reasons, the Chinese People's Volunteer Army established a committee for the construction of martyrs' cemeteries in North Korea starting in 1953. Currently, there are 8 large martyrs' cemeteries, 62 burial sites, and 243 joint burials of unknown martyrs in North Korea.
However, many of them are unnamed graves or joint burials.
Back then, neither we nor the Koreans could distinguish and identify the fallen soldiers, nor could we bury each one individually and erect a monument.
Therefore, there are many joint burial tombs in the cemetery, with dozens, hundreds, and thousands of people buried together. The largest joint burial tomb even contains more than 8,000 martyrs.
Today, the country is safe and sound, and the people are at peace. The country attaches great importance to the work related to martyrs. Therefore, we have a series of activities such as sending groups abroad to pay tribute and bringing the remains of heroes back home. We also allocate funds to relevant units in North Korea every year so that they can better maintain and repair the cemetery.
This might be a point of confusion for some people.
Our relationship with the Koreans hasn't always been unfriendly.
Why did they unearth the remains of our volunteer soldiers?
Speaking of this, we have to mention their American dad.
Emilyka has a department called the "Office of Prisoners of War and Missing Persons," which travels the world to excavate and collect the remains of soldiers who died in battle throughout history.
So, for many years Emily has been urging South Korea to exhume the remains of their fallen soldiers that are still on the Korean Peninsula.
Under pressure from their American "daddy," the Koreans had no choice but to dig everywhere. During the search and excavation process, they also discovered the remains of our volunteer soldiers, so they preserved them for us and then returned them.
This event has now been held ten times, proving that the remains of ten batches of Chinese People's Volunteer Army soldiers have been returned to their homeland.
However, many volunteers still lie buried underground.
They are heroes, and heroes should not remain unknown.
"Ding, main quest issued."
"Please conduct on-site excavation at the following coordinates and bring the hero home."
"Rewards upon completion of the mission: Advanced fighter jet piloting skill, advanced tank piloting skill, and advanced helicopter piloting skill."
Yuan Yi listened to the tasks and rewards announced by the system.
"No, I already have basic fighter piloting skills, I can upgrade them myself."
Why are you rewarding me with advanced skills again?
Yuan Yi was puzzled.
"Ding, military skills are special skills, and the skill upgrade card you just drew is in music."
"··········"
Yuan Yi was completely speechless.
Why are you making such a big distinction? An upgrade card is just an upgrade card.
You also distinguish between special skills and ordinary skills.
This is way too complicated!
However, Yuan Yi did not refute it.
This time, they rewarded three advanced skills all at once.
It's important to know that these special skills are inherently difficult to obtain.
It is usually given after completing the system's main quest.
He's participated in so many lotteries so far, but he hasn't gotten many special skills like these; most of what he's gotten are just fragments.
Yuan Yi looked at the coordinates information that the system had given him.
My mind went blank for a moment.
"All along the 38th parallel?"
With a map in his mind, Yuan Yi immediately knew the location where the remains were buried.
"Yes," Gou Dan'er said mercilessly.
"No, the 38th parallel is a restricted area."
"Whether it's South Korea or North Korea, there are troops stationed there."
"If I went there to dig so openly, they would definitely shoot me dead!"
Yuan Yi just looked at the map, and the nearest point on it is only one kilometer away from the 38th parallel.
If I were to go there, wouldn't I be like a mouse licking a cat's nose—asking for my own death?
Yuan Yi was somewhat dissatisfied that the system did not prioritize his life.
"·······"
"Have you messed up your brain these past few days?"
"Can't you ask someone higher up to help intervene?"
"You really insist on going by yourself?"
"He usually seems quite smart, so why does his mind go blank when it comes to something?"
Little Elf Dog Egg kept complaining to Yuan Yi.
