After nearly three years of hard work, the enemy signed the Korean Armistice Agreement, and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea came to an end. Volunteers have gradually withdrawn a large number of troops from North Korea, but in order to maintain the stability of the armistice situation, many volunteers are still guarding the land of North Korea and are ready to fight at any time. ...
From the first day the volunteers entered the Korean land, they took part in the fighting and helped the Korean people to produce labor and rebuild their homes during the fighting.
1953 This is especially true after the signing of the Korean Armistice Agreement. Volunteers who basically entered the DPRK participated in the production and construction of the DPRK.
At the same time, the volunteers also sent a large number of engineers to clear mines in places where they had fought, fill craters in farmland, help the Korean people build houses and help them return to normal life as soon as possible.
In addition, volunteers also helped the Korean people to repair the paralyzed railway network, rebuild railway lines and build new stations. ...
Volunteers focus on the construction of big cities such as Pyongyang and Yuanshan. Driven by the construction of Beijing, they put forward the slogan of building Pyongyang, and built many office buildings, hospitals and schools in Pyongyang alone.
Although Korea has ceased fighting and the international situation tends to ease, the situation is still somewhat tense. Therefore, in addition to helping the Korean people to carry out the restoration and construction work, the volunteers resolutely safeguard the Korean Armistice Agreement, defend the socialist cause of China and Korea, and continue to strengthen unity with the Korean people.
According to General Wang Ping, then political commissar of the Volunteers:
Under the instructions of the CPC Central Committee and Chairman Mao, all the officers and men of the Volunteers worked hard to rebuild their homes for the Korean people.
Facing the complicated situation in North Korea, Yong Yang knows that it should be ready at any time, and advocates being ready. From his first visit to North Korea, he went deep into the position to inspect the fortifications, leaving Yong Yang's footprints in many places from the vicinity of the 38th parallel to the east and west coasts.
In this regard, he mentioned:
1955, Yong Yang was appointed commander of Chinese people's Volunteer Army.
Two years later, with the stability of the situation in North Korea, China and North Korea began to discuss the issue of withdrawing troops.
1957 1 1 When Chairman Mao visited the Soviet Union in, he personally discussed with Kim Il Sung, who was also visiting the Soviet Union, the withdrawal of all volunteers from North Korea.
Chairman Mao put forward:
Kim Il Sung also repeatedly expressed his support for the return of volunteers to China and quickly put forward specific implementation measures for withdrawal. At the same time, China and the DPRK held consultations on troop withdrawal through diplomatic channels.
Kim Il Sung sent a letter to Premier Zhou Enlai, inviting China to send a delegation to visit North Korea, and hoped that Zhou Enlai would personally lead the delegation.
The following month, Zhou Enlai wrote back to express his willingness to accept the invitation.
Therefore, Zhou Enlai decided to lead a delegation to the DPRK as soon as possible.
When Yong Yang returned to China to report his work in North Korea, he already knew the plan for the volunteers to withdraw their troops and return home. He also began to make a series of preparations for Zhou Enlai's visit to North Korea and the withdrawal of volunteers. ...
1958 February 14, Zhou Enlai led a delegation to visit North Korea by special plane. Members of the delegation include Chen Yi, Su Yu, Zhang Wentian and others.
At Pyongyang airport in North Korea, the delegation was warmly welcomed. Speaking at the airport, Zhou Enlai said that the China administration not only supports the various proposals put forward by the DPRK government to withdraw all foreign troops from the DPRK, but will also make active efforts to achieve this goal.
At the same time, on the way from the airport to the hotel, the people of North China warmly welcomed the southern delegation on both sides of the road for more than ten kilometers, and some people squeezed out from the crowd to present flowers to Zhou Enlai.
Zhou Enlai stood on the convertible and waved to the crowd. The cheers of the crowd resounded through the sky.
This reflects the friendship between the people of China and the Korean people, and also represents the Korean people's deep respect for Zhou Enlai. On the same day, they began to discuss issues related to the withdrawal of volunteers. ...
The fourth day after the volunteers arrived in South Korea, that is, February 17, was the Lunar New Year's Eve in China.
On this day, it snowed heavily in North Korea. On this day, the South Korean delegation braved the heavy snow and came to the Kamakura Martyrs Cemetery in North China. On this day, the martyrs buried in the Martyrs Cemetery greeted their relatives in their hometown. ...
In the Martyrs Cemetery, Zhou Enlai, Chen Yi, Su Yu and others, with the thoughts and respect of the people of the whole country, presented wreaths to the volunteers.
Then they braved the wind and snow all over the sky and walked around the cemetery for a long time, paying tribute to the martyrs' tomb on behalf of the whole country.
In this way, they kept walking, walking, and suddenly stopped. It turned out that there was something special about these tombs. I saw seven big characters engraved on the tombstone-the tomb of Comrade Mao.
And Mao's voice and smile before his death also emerged in front of him. ...
Mao Anying is the son of Chairman Mao with high hopes and a promising young man in Zhou Enlai.
In the eyes, wool has many excellent qualities. He is modest and gentle, and has suffered a lot, which also makes him very distressed.
That year, when he went to the Soviet Union to treat his arm, he met Mao. He had just arrived in the Soviet Union for two or three years. He studies very hard and is a very motivated boy.
Shortly after Mao returned to China, Chairman Mao invited him to study in a labor university.
He remembered that once Mao He's son went back to Yan 'an to handle affairs, and they happened to meet a cultural performance. The staff around Chairman Mao asked them to stay after the performance.
But Chairman Mao just didn't agree. He insisted that Mao must be returned, while his son could stay. The reason is that Mao is still a student at the Labor University.
When he heard about it, he was very upset, so he suggested to Chairman Mao, "Chairman, are you too strict with Ying Ying? This child has suffered a lot since childhood! "
But Chairman Mao said, "Who let him be the son of my Mao Zedong?" This sentence also made him deeply realize Chairman Mao's deep fatherly love for his son.
Before and after the founding of New China, Mao repeatedly proposed to work at the grassroots level in An Ying and visited him, and he also helped persuade him. Finally, Mao got his wish and went to work in the machine factory.
But soon he went to North Korea and died there. But Chairman Mao still said, "Who let him be the son of my Mao Zedong ..."
The thought of these, Zhou Enlai was distressed. Watching Zhou Enlai stop, others stop.
Zhou Enlai in front of Mao's grave, with his injured right hand kept stroking Mao's tombstone, silent for a long time. Zhou Enlai said sadly to Chen Yi: "kishida fumio's sacrifice is an irreparable loss to the country and people, to the party, and especially to Chairman Mao."
Then, Zhou Enlai said to Yong Yang, then commander of the Volunteers, "We must send someone to protect the cemetery. All kinds of saplings in the park can beautify the environment, let the martyrs rest in peace, and the fruits can be left to the Korean people ... "
At some point, Zhou Enlai's eyes were wet. ...
He also expressed his understanding of his feelings, and Mao's sacrifice was empathy. He naturally agreed with what Zhou Enlai said, so he choked: "Good."
This is the place where Yang Yong has been many times. Every time a domestic delegation comes, he will bring the delegation here. Here, Yong Yang will introduce Mao's heroic deeds, call on everyone to learn from Mao, and convey Chairman Mao's instructions:
When he saw the graves of volunteers, Yong Yang would ask to stop and express his grief to the graves of volunteers.
After visiting the Martyrs Cemetery, Zhou Enlai and his party continued to hold intense negotiations on the return of volunteers.
On the issue of the time for the volunteers to retreat, Zhou Enlai specifically consulted Yong Yang.
Zhou Enlai asked Yong Yang: "Volunteers are going to withdraw from North Korea in the first half of this year. What do you think? "
Yong Yang thought for a moment and replied, "I support the decision of the Central Committee, but I have a suggestion. Can the last batch of volunteers leave North Korea for a few months? It is best to arrange it on 10/0/25 October, which coincides with the anniversary of the eighth anniversary of the volunteers going abroad to fight, and can also help the Korean people to build more. "
Zhou Enlai strongly agreed with this proposal and reported it to the Central Committee. Zhou Enlai and Yong Yang said: "The Central Committee basically agrees with you, and we will discuss this issue with the DPRK tomorrow."
On New Year's Eve, Yong Yang hosted a welcome meeting at the headquarters of the Volunteers, and Zhou Enlai and his party attended. That night, Zhou Enlai drank a lot of wine and watched the cultural performances prepared by the Volunteer Art Troupe. ...
This move once again proves the profound friendship between China and the DPRK.
During his visit, Zhou Enlai attached great importance to learning from the Korean people, and led a delegation to visit Pyongyang Textile Factory and Nanxing Fertilizer Plant.
Wherever Zhou Enlai and his party went, they were warmly welcomed by the Korean people. The warm scene of the welcoming crowd singing and dancing also deeply touched Zhou Enlai and others.
An old Korean mother who once helped the wounded heard that Zhou Enlai was going to the Yellow Sea Iron and Steel Plant, and not far away, Wan Li rushed there to meet him.
She took Zhou Enlai's hand and gave him a pair of silver chopsticks and a silver bowl wrapped in red cloth.
On February 2 1, the delegation of the Government of China ended its visit to the DPRK and returned to the motherland with the deep friendship of the Korean people.
Before leaving, when Zhou Enlai and his party bid farewell to the Korean people, the crowd waved bouquets and colorful flags together and gave a deafening cheer.
Zhou Enlai led a delegation to visit China in a highly responsible spirit and achieved complete success. ...
That year, the volunteers began to retreat nervously. According to Zhou Enlai's instructions, the volunteers sent this message to the whole army: "Don't be arrogant and slow, from beginning to end; Volunteer soldiers gave everything to the Korean People's Army free of charge except weapons, equipment and personal belongings under the slogan of "the army will be withdrawn, and friendship will last forever".
North Korea also held a grand farewell ceremony and set up a special farewell Committee to send volunteers home. Volunteers received hundreds of thousands of souvenirs and farewell letters from the Korean people.
By 1958, when the anniversary of the entry of volunteers into the DPRK was approaching, the farewell activities of the Korean people reached a climax, and more than 6 million Korean people signed their names on the thank-you letters to the officers and men of Chinese people's Volunteer Army and the people of China.
/KOOC-0/0/KOOC-0/On or around October 20th, Yong Yang led all the officers and men of the headquarters of the Volunteers to the Martyrs Cemetery of the Volunteers to pay their last respects to the comrades who were buried in the Korean land.
Looking at one tombstone after another, everyone was silent for a long time and could not bear to leave. Yes, they can go home, but their comrades will sleep forever.
The old Korean man who saw the cemetery said to Yong Yang and others: "
Soon, the last batch of volunteers returned to China.
Yong Yang was the last volunteer commander to return from North Korea. When he left, he received much attention and almost became a news figure. Wherever they go, they are always surrounded by friendly Korean people.
Kim Il Sung also specially met with Yong Yang and others. When Yong Yang and Kim Il Sung boarded the rostrum, the audience broke into prolonged applause.
On the podium, Yong Yang said:
North Korea also held a grand ceremony to award Yong Yang the first-class national flag medal, which is also the highest medal of North Korea.
When I had to go, Kim Il Sung and others came to the station and saw Yong Yang and others off in the square.
Over the past eight years, we have forged a friendship between life and death with North Korea, but all good things must come to an end. Yong Yang and others bid farewell to the beloved Prime Minister Kim Il Sung with infinite feelings! Say goodbye to the brave and hardworking Korean people!
This is a tearful tear, which contains the deep friendship of the Korean people to the people of China and the volunteers.
On the occasion of the eighth anniversary of the volunteers' going abroad, the last batch of volunteers crossed the Yalu River and returned to the motherland with flowers and friendship.
Eight years ago. Peng took the volunteers through here. Eight years later, Yang Yong came back from here with volunteers. On the banks of the Yalu River, history has written an indelible record of victory.
When the train passed through the rice fields full of craters, smoke curled up and came to Andong Station, Anton held a grand welcoming ceremony.
Volunteer soldiers finally returned to the motherland and set foot on the land of the motherland. When they saw the grand welcome of their relatives in the motherland, they heard the warm and cheerful cheers of their relatives and felt infinite warmth.
Eight years have passed, and the volunteers have finally returned, and finally they can see their families who miss them day and night, especially the prosperity of socialist economic construction in the motherland.
Eight years later, the people finally waited for the heroes to go home and finally cheered for their victory!
What are they fighting for when they go to Korea? I only hope that the people of the whole country can live a stable and prosperous life. Although many of their comrades-in-arms have died in foreign countries, the sacrificed soldiers will be elated when they see this magnificent sight.
The train continued to run, passing through Shenyang, Jinzhou, Tianjin and other places. It was warmly welcomed without exception.
When the train arrived in Beijing, many marshals and generals, such as Zhou Enlai and Chen Yi, personally greeted it at the station. At the same time, they sang the military songs of the volunteers together:
Enthusiastic people swarmed before the train stopped. They want to welcome their heroes and the cutest people!
At the grand reception, Yong Yang spoke passionately and was always interrupted by applause again and again.
The next day, Chairman Mao met with the returning volunteer delegation in Zhongnanhai. Chairman Mao kindly asked Yong Yang, "Are they all back?"
Yong Yang replied that they were all back, and Chairman Mao said happily, "Well, it's good to be back. I warmly welcome you! "
During his return to China, Yong Yang and the returning volunteer delegation were greeted with flowers and applause. But Yong Yang understands that applause belongs not only to them, but also to the volunteers who returned home early and the martyrs who are buried in the land of North Korea!
These flowers and applause, these honors, should belong to them
In the later days, Yong Yang often said to his family:
"In the war years, countless comrades sacrificed for the revolution. There are no flowers and applause at their graves, but future generations will always remember them, cherish their achievements and inherit their career. ……"
The martyrs who died for the revolution should be the people we will always remember, the people we cannot forget, and the most lovely people!
