SHENYANG, April 21 (Xinhua) -- The remains of 12 Chinese People's Volunteers (CPV) martyrs killed in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea (1950-1953) will be returned to China from the Republic of Korea (ROK) on Wednesday, according to China's Ministry of Veterans Affairs.
A Chinese Air Force Y-20B large transport aircraft will carry the fallen heroes to Shenyang, capital of northeast China's Liaoning Province, home to the CPV martyrs' cemetery.
This will be the 13th such repatriation of CPV remains following the handover agreement between the two countries. Since 2014, the remains of 1,011 soldiers have been returned to China from the ROK, the ministry said.
