In the three-year war the DPRK and Chinese people wrought a historic miracle of defeating the U.S. imperialists, invaders of 15 countries and the south Korean puppet army.

The Chinese people helped with blood the just war of the Korean people for freedom and independence.

Less than two years old DPRK fought an unprecedentedly hard fight against the U.S. imperialists with more than 100-year-long history of aggression and their allied forces. At that time the Chinese party and government organized volunteers with fine sons and daughters of the Chinese people and dispatched them to the Korean front under the banner of "Resisting America and aiding Korea, safeguarding the home and defending the motherland". The number of the Chinese People's Volunteers amounted to six combined forces, and more than 400 000 young and middle-aged people joined the CPV in Shandong Province alone.

Under the difficult condition just about a year since its foundation, the People's Republic of China sent the CPV to the Korean front. This was a noble manifestation of the revolutionary obligation forged in the anti-imperialist joint struggle.

CPV fighters shared sweets and bitters in the same trenches of the Korean front with the army and people of the DPRK and set a noble example of internationalism in the struggle against the common enemies.

The CPV won the first victory in the battle in Unsan area on October 25, 1950. The day was recorded as the day when the CPV entered the Korean front.

CPV fighters defended the land of the DPRK at the risk of their lives by displaying matchless heroism and self-sacrificing spirit in the same trenches with servicepersons of the Korean People's Army.

They greatly contributed to foiling the strategic attempts of the enemies including summer, autumn, Kumhwa and new offensives. CPV units won big victories in battles of great strategic importance in 1950 alone.

The great battles conducted by CPV units in Kaechon area, on the banks of the River Chongchon and on the shore of Lake Jangjin including together with KPA units in November 1950 dealt a total defeat to U.S. First Cavalry Division, U.S. Third Infantry Division, U.S. First Marines Division and south Korean puppet army units. They thwarted the enemies' so-called Christmas general offensive and conducted the third stage operation of the war.

The CPV on the southward advance with the KPA encircled and annihilated Brigade No. 29 of the UK Army in late December, expanding the achievements to the areas south of the 38th parallel. In May 1951 units of Corps No. 20 and Corps No. 27 under the Combined Corps No. 9 of the CPV conducted large-scale attack operation in cooperation with units of Corps No. 3 and Corps No. 5 of the KPA, annihilating a large group including Division No. 3 and Division No. 9 of the south Korean army.

The area of Mt. Maryang which was taken by large units of the U.S. imperialist aggression forces and the UK Army was totally put under control by the CPV in November 1951. The battle for defending Sanggam Pass in Kangwon Province, a strategic vantage ground in those days, vividly showed the noble internationalist spirit and matchless bravery of the CPV.

In October 1952 the U.S. imperialist aggression forces made desperate efforts with four divisions, more than 100 planes, many artillery pieces and tanks to take back the height in the Pass but CPV fighters defended the trench to the last despite showers of bullets and shells.

In this battle Huang Jieguang blocked the enemy's gun muzzle with his body to pave the way for his unit's advance. He said that beloved Korea is not different from his native home and motherland and that though the enemies may take his life, they can not take lives of Korean brothers and sisters.

In the battle for retaking Mt. Rodok, counter-attack battle in perimeter of Kumsong Stream in Kimhwa Area and many other battles in 1953, CPV units inflicted a heavy loss to the enemies, liberated vast area extending 100 square kilometers and thus shattered the vicious moves of the U.S. imperialists to seek the so-called honorable armistice and contributed to bringing earlier the final victory of the war.

The two years and nine months-long fierce battles on the Korean front produced many heroic battalions, companies and platoons and other collective merited units and hundreds of thousands of heroes, meritorious men and model combatants of the CPV.

The DPRK government awarded the title of DPRK hero, orders and medals to 661 736 CPV fighters. The armies and peoples of the two countries became comrades-in-arms and brothers and sisters sharing joy and sorrow in the days when they waged the rigorous struggle during the anti-Japanese war, the civil war of China and the Korean war.

The DPRK-China friendship sealed in blood in the front of the anti-imperialist class struggle can never be destroyed with anything but will invariably be strengthened generation after generation.
