Zhang Jifa, veteran of the Chinese People's Volunteers (CPV), tells a story about "one apple" happened during a battle of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea (1950-1953), in Xinyang, central China's Henan Province, Sept. 27, 2020. Zhang was born in 1926. He entered the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) to fight in the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea with the CPV army in 1951. On Oct. 19, 1950, as requested by the DPRK, CPV forces crossed the Yalu River to aid the DPRK's fight there until a truce was signed in 1953. A total of 2.9 million CPV soldiers entered the battlefield. Photographers from Xinhua took portrait photos of about 70 representatives of CPV veterans, as this year marks the 70th anniversary of the CPV entering the DPRK to fight in the war. Looking back at 2020, there are always some warm pictures and touching moments: the dedication on the front line to fight against the epidemic, the perseverance on the way out of poverty, the courage to shoulder the responsibility on the embankment against the flood, the joy and pride when reaching the summit of Mount Qomolangma... These people and things touch our hearts and give us warmth and strength. (Xinhua/Feng Dapeng)
