73 years ago
2.4 million Chinese People’s Volunteers
Marched gallantly
Across the Yalu River
Embarking on a war to defend their motherland
It is a war that must end with a complete victory
For this victory
They advanced wave upon wave
Heading towards a far destination without hesitation
Departing from a city called Dandong
Their hearts overflowed with the love for their country
And the passion of youth
Despite suffering hardships on the battlefield
With scarce weapons, meager rations, and threadbare clothing
They held fast to the belief that nothing is impossible
No obstacle insurmountable
No enemy unbeatable
Longing for the ultimate victory
Yearning to return to their motherland
But this path
They have traversed for a complete 70-year span
The land remains intact,and heroes return to their home
Green hills bury loyal martyrs, and fallen leaves return to the roots
Flight 048
Shenyang Tower
Thank you for bringing our heroes back to their homeland
Loyalty and bravery still exist,and the land remains intact
Salute the martyrs of the Chinese People’s Volunteer Army
A prosperous China welcomes the returning martyrs
Let us pay tribute to the martyrs of the Chinese People’s Volunteer Army
Eternal glory to the people’s heroes
For 70 years
We have never forgotten
