韩国归还437具志愿军遗骸
The remains of more than 400 Chinese soldiers, who fought in the Korean War, are finally returning home. This follows an offer made by South Korean President Park Geun-hye during meetings with President Xi Jinping last summer.
The remains of the 437 veterans were carefully wrapped and placed into traditional Chinese coffins before being handed over during a ceremony at Seoul’s Incheon International airport. They have now been put on a plane and are on their way back to China. They’ll be laid to rest at a cemetery in the city of Shenyang.

Korean War were placed in coffins on Monday during the rites, ahead of
their return to China from South Korea next week for a
permanent burial. [Photo/Agencies]
