The participants observed a moment's silence in memory of the fallen soldiers of the Chinese People's Volunteers, who displayed matchless braveness and self-sacrificing spirit in the Korean front against the imperialists' armed invasion under the banner of resisting America and aiding Korea, safeguarding the home and defending the motherland.

Li Zhanshu wrote in the visitor's book: The Friendship Tower is a historic witness and eternal symbol of the China-Korea friendship. The Chinese and Korean peoples should cherish deep in mind and inherit and develop the history.
