Zhu Jialei—Sina “Witness”

More than 150,000 Chinese soldiers fought and died during the Korean War. Many of their bodies were never returned to China but buried in mass graves in North Korea. More than 60 years later, family members of these soldiers traveled to North Korea, many of them for the first time, to honor their fathers before Tomb-Sweeping Day.
